PREFACE. 


ABOUT  the  year  1668,  Antony  Wood  appears  to  have 
completed  a  long  and  elaborate  work  in  Englifh,  which  he 
had  been  compiling  for  ten  years,  entitled  T^he  Hijiory  and  Anti- 
quities  of  the  Univerfitie  of  Oxford.  It  was  divided  into  two  Parts. 
The  Firft  Part  contained  a  Hiflory  of  the  Univerfity  in  general, 
from  its  earlieft  inftitution  to  the  year  1649.  The  Second  Part 
confifted  of  two  articles,  viz.  I.  A  Hiftory  of  the  Antient  Schools, 
Prefent  Schools,  Theatre,  Lefturefhips,  Offices  of  Public  Orator 
and  Keeper  of  the  Archives,  and  public  Libraries.  II.  A  Hiilory 
of  the  feveral  Colleges  and  Halls,  from  their  foundations  to  the 
year  1668.  To  the  whole  was  fubjoined  an  Appendix,  called 
"  Fasti  Oxonienses,  or  a  Commentary  on  the  fupreame  Magif- 
"  t rates  of  the  Univerfitie  of  Oxford,  namely  of  the  Chanceilours, 
**  Co?nmi/farieSi  Prochancellours  or  Vicechancellours,  and  FroSiors  : 
"  alfo  of  the  High-Stewards,  and  Parliament arie  Burgeffes  of  the 
**  Univerftie." 

In  1670,  the  Delegates  of  the  Oxford  Prefs  purchafed  this  va- 
luable work  of  the  author  for  one  hundred  pounds,  with  a  defign 
that  it  fhould  be  publifhed  in  a  Latin  tranflation.  It  was  accord- 
ingly tranllated  into  Latin,  under  the  aufpices,  and  at  the  expence, 
of  dodor  Fell,  Dean  of  Chrift  Church,  and  publiQied  in  1674, 
w^ith  this  title,  *'  Historia  et  Antiquitates  Universi- 
<<  TATis  Oxon.  Oxonii,  e  Theatro  Sheldoniano,  1674."  The 
tranllator  was  Richard  Peers,  Student  of  Chrift-Church  5    who 

was

was  affifted  by  Richard  Reeve,  fometime  of  Trinity  College,  and 
then  Mafter  of  Magdalen  College  School.  But  every  fheet  was 
fubmitted  to  the  infpedlion  of  dodtor  Fell,  who  made  fuch  cor- 
redtions  and  alterations  as  he  thought  necelTary.  While  the  book 
was  in  the  prefs,  the  author  added  to  every  College  and  Hall,  a 
fuccind  account  of  the  lives  and  works  of  its  refpedlive  writers. 
Thefe  additions  were  alfo  tranflated  and  incorporated. 

It  appears,  however,  that  our  author  was  greatly  difpleafed  at 
the  manner  in  which  this  Tranflation  was  conducted.  He  com- 
plained, that  it  was  by  no  means  either  exadl  or  faithful :  and  that 
his  Englifh  text  was  in  many  places  grofsly  mifreprefented,  not 
only  by  the  miftakes  of  the  tranflators,  but  by  their  frequent  omiffi- 
ons  and  interpolations.  He  therefore,  after  a  careful  and  delibe- 
rate revifal,  began  in  Auguft,  1676,  fairly  to  retranfcribe  the  whole 
of  his  Englifh  copy;  with  a  continuation  of  the  general  Hiftory, 
or  Firfl  Part,  to  the  year  1660,  and  other  new  infertions  and  im- 
provements.. The  Hiftory  of  the  Colleges  and  Halls,  in  the  Se- 
cond Part,  was  alfo  enlarged,  and  continued  down  to  almoft  the 
year  of  the  author's  death,  in  1695.  Yet  in  this  part,  he  omitted 
the  account  of  the  writers  belonging  to  each  College  and  Hall ; 
which  never  entered  into  his  original  plan,  and  was  very  properly 
referved  for  his  other  great  work,  the  Athene  Oxonienses. 
He  certainly  entertained  hopes,  that  this  manufcript,  which  he  left 
with  every  preparation  for  the  prefs,  would  one  day  fee  the  light. 
He  bequeathed  it  on  his  death-bed  to  the  Univerfity  of  Oxford, 
and  it  is  now  depofited  in  the  Bodleian  library.  It  confifts  of  two 
very  ample  volumes  in  folio. 


The 


PREFACE. 

The  fecond  article  of  the  Second  Part  of  this  manufcrlpt,  or  the 
Hiftory  of  the  Colleges  and  Halls,  is  here  given  to  the  public. 
And  as  the  editor,  by  the  obliging  affiftance  of  his  friends  in  thefe 
focieties,  has  been  enabled  to  continue  their  Hiftory  down  to  the 
prefent  times,  and  fometimes  to  corredt  the  author's  miftakes, 
therefore  many  additions  have  been  made,  and  much  new  matter 
is  inferted.  But  all  fuch  additions  are  inclofed  in  crotchets,  and 
never  intermixed  or  confounded  with  Wood's  text,  which  is  ex:- 
hibited  with   all  poflible  fidelity. 

By  means  of  thefe  continuations,  which  are  more  confiderable 
than  the  editor  at  firft  expeded,  yet  not  always  fo  full  as  he  wifhed, 
the  volume  is  increafed  to  a  much  larger  fize  than  was  ever  in- 
tended. This  circumftance  has  prevented  the  execution  of  a  defign 
which  he  had  formed,  although  not  mentioned  in  the  Propofals  to 
his  Subfcribers,  of  adding  to  the  Hiflory  of  the  Colleges  and  Halls, 
the  Appendix  abovementioned,  called  Fasti  Oxonienses;  and 
which  in  this  manufcript  is  brought  down,  by  the  author,  to  the 
year  1695.  But  this  Appendix,  if  the  editor  fhould  be  favoured 
with  fuch  communications  as  will  complete  its  feries  to  the  pre- 
fent time,  ihall  fpeedily  be  publifhed :  together  with  a  copious 
Index  to  this  volume  and  to  the  Appendix. 

The  editor  returns  his  grateful  acknowledgements  to  his  nume- 
rous and  refpedtable  Subfcribers  ^  and  to  thofe  who  have  fo  kindly 
contributed  to  the  Continuations.  He  thinks  no  apology  neceff- 
ary,  for  beginning  with  the  latter  Part  of  Wood's  manufcript. 
The  Hiftory  of  the  Colleges  and  Halls  evidently  forms  an  entire 
and  independent  work :  and  if  this  fpecimen  fhould  be  favour- 
ably received,  he  propofes   to   publifh  all   that  remains,   confif- 

tently  with  his  health,  and  his  frequent  avocations. 

Of 


PREFACE. 

Of  this  attempt,   we  apprehend,  no  better  recommendation  can 

be  given,   than  the  following  paflage  in    Mr.  Warton's  Life  of 

Bathurft.    "  1  cannot  omit  this  opportunity  of  lamenting,  that  Dr. 

«  Fell  ever  propofed  a  tranllation  of  Wood's  Englifh  work,   which 

*  would  have  been  infinitely  more   pleafmg  in  the  plain  natural 

*  drefs  of  its  artlefs,  but  accurate,  author.  The  tranflation  in  ge- 
'  neral,  it  is  allowed,  is  full  of  miflakes;  it  is  alfo  ftiff  and  un- 

*  pleafing,  perpetually  difgufting  the  reader  with  the  affedation  of 
«  phrafeology.  Dr.  Fell's  reafon  for  procuring  it  to  be  tranflated, 
'  was,  that  a  complete  account  of  the  Univerfity  might  be  circu- 

*  lated  abroad.     But  there  are  many  particulars,  unavoidably  arif- 

*  inty  from  the  fubjedl,  which  read  ridiculous,  and  are  fometimes 

*  unintelligible,  in  Latin.     Befides,  the  circumftantial  minutenefs 

*  of  local  defcription,  with  which  the  work  abounds,  fo  interefl- 
'  ing  and  agreeable  to  an  Englifh  reader,  and  to  perfons  familiarly 
'  acquainted  with  the  fpot,  all  appear  fuperfluous,  infignificant, 
'  and  tedious,  to  foreigners.    A  more  general  and  compendious  de- 

*  tail  might  have  been  abfi:ra6led  from  it,  and  tranflated  for   the 

*  pnrpofe  of  foreign  readers ;  while  the  author's  original  Englifh 

*  fhould  have  been  publifhed,  in  conformity  to  his  firfl  idea,  not 

*  only  for  the  univerfal  convenience,  but  the  more  particular  and 
critical  information,  of  his  countrymen."

THE 


HISTORY  AND  ANTIQUITIES,  &c 


COLLEGES. 


COLLEGIUM,  according  to  the  civil  law  expofitors,  is  fo  called 
a  colligendo,  from  a  colleftion  or  gathering  together  of  certain  per- 
fons  into  a  body,  living  comfortably  together  and  unanimoufl.y.  It  is 
a  Society  of  men  fo  contra6led  (fay  they)  "  ut  ex  pluribus  perfonis,  veluti 
perfona  et  unum  corpus  fiat."  Omitting  other  expofitions,  which  are 
infinite  in  the  juridical  lexicons  and  elfewhere,  I  fhall  malce  fome  obferva- 
tions  of  our  Colleges,  and  perfons  in  them,  as  very  proper  for  ftrangers  to 
know  i  and  that  thofe  matters,  that  follow  concerning  the  faid  Colleges, 
might  the  better  be  underftood. 

I.  Before  any  College  or  Colleges  were  built,  the  Scholars  generally  were 
educated  and  tutored  in  the  houfes  of  Burghers,  (called  by  the  names  of 
Hall  and  Inns)  either  by  the  exhibition  of  Bifhops,  great  and  wealthy  per- 
fons, or  elfe  by  their  own  patrimony. 

II.  That  fome,  and  thofe  many,  were  as  fecular  Scholars  educated  in 
religious  places,  as  in  St.  Fridefwyde's  Priory,  Ofney  Abbey,  &c.  which 
places  of  education  were  much  lelfened,  as  Colleges  increafed. 

III.  That  our  ancient  Colleges,  as  Merton,  Univerfity,  Balliol,  Exeter, 
Oriel,  &c.  have  had,  in  relation  to  building  and  room,  but  very  fmall  ori- 
ginals. For  all,  except  Merton,  have  had  their  firft  beings  in  one  Tenement 
or  Hall  only.  Afterward  by  degrees  they  enlarged  themfelves  to  what  they 
are  now,  as  you  may  fee  in  my  difcourfe  of  each. 

IV.  That  they  have  anciently  been  written  and  called  Halls,  as  Balliol 
Hall,  Univerfity  Hall,  &c.  Yet  Merton  was  commonly  written  "  Domus 
de  Merton,"  and  now  and  then  in  the  reign  of  K.  Edw.  Ill,  "  Domus  fife 
Aula,"  and  "  Domus  five  Collegium  de  Merton." 

V.  That  each  College  hath  a  head  or  fuperior  to  govern  it,  to  be  chofen 
for  the  moft  part  from  the  Fellows  of  each  place.  But  the  Dean  and  Canons 
of  Chrifi:  Church  are  nominated  and  confirmed  by  the  King's  Diploma. 

VI.  That  the  members  of  each  College,  as  aifo  the  head,  are  governed 
by  Statutes,  given  either  by  Founders,  or  Benefaftors.  Chrifi:  Church 
has  Statutes  for  the  Dean  and  Canons,  but  none  for  the  Students,  for  they 
proceed  accordino;  to  cufl;om,  and  are  regulated  in  an  arbitrary  way. 

°  A  Vll.  That 


[  *  ] 

VII.  That  in  the  faid  Colleges  live  not  only  fuch  as  receive  fuftenancc 
by  the  charity  of  their  Founders,  and  Benefadors,  which  we  call  Foun- 
dation-men, but  others  alfo,  viz.  Gentlemen-Commoners,  Commoners,  and 
Batlers,  who  live  upon  their  own  eftates,  and  do  undergo  the  difcipline  of 
their  refpedlive  Colleges,  as  others  do.  There  be  alfo  befides  thefe  certain 
poor  Scholars,  called  Servitors,  who  by  their  attending  and  ferving  fuperiors, 
obtain  a  livelyhood,  and  fometimes  become  noted  perfons  either  for  learning, 
or  preferment  in  the  Church. 

VIII.  That  all  the  Colleges  are  very  fairly  built  of  ftone,  out  of  quarries 
near  Oxford,  (the  worfl:  of  them  is  as  good  as  fome  Univerfities  in  foreign 
countries)  and  have  belonging  to  them  all  conveniences  that  are  fit  for 
human  life.  If  you  except  the  Colleges  and  Halls,  the  City  of  Oxford,  in 
relation  to  building,  is  a  very  inconfiderable  place,  and  no  better  than  an 
ordinary  Market  Town.  And  if  fo  be  they  were  quite  gone  (which  God 
forbid  it  fhould  come  to  pafs)  it  would  be  one  of  the  beggarlieft  places  in 
England,  it  being  not  accommodated  with  a  public  road  through,  traffick 
in,  or  an  eminent  river  by,  it.  (i) 

Thefe  matters  being  thus  delivered,  I  fliall  fpeak  of  each  College  in 
order  i  of  which,  though  I  have  formerly  put  Univerfity  firft,  and  Balliol 
next,  yet  Merton  College  ought  to  be  the  firft,  and  the  firlt  now  I  have 
put  it,  becaufe  it  is  the  moft  ancient  endowed  Houfe  in  Oxford,  (fome  fay 
in  all  the  learned  world)  and  the  moft  famous  for  the  education  of 
learned  men. 


(i)  [In  whatever  light  the  City  might  ap- 
pear to  the  Author  at  the  time  of  compiling 
his  Hillory,  it  may  now  with  great  juftice  be 
remarked,  that  it  is  very  much  improved  by 
the  ereftion  of  the  new  Church  of  AH  Saints, 
a  Town-hall,  and  new  general  Market,  which 
have  hand  fome  fronts  to  the  ilreet :  and  in 
purfuance  of  fome  late  Afts  of  Parliament, 
a  new  Bridge  has  been  conftrufted  over  the 
river  Cherwell  at  the  entrance  from  London, 
the  ilreets  paved,  and  the  houfes  embellifhed. 


and  many  of  them  rebuilt.  The  Rivers  Thame  j 
and  Ifis  are  rendered  navigable  for  veffels  of 
a  large  burthen,  many  miles  above  the  City; 
and  a  Canal  from  the  north  is  almoll  com- 
pleated.  By  the  greater  convenience  alfo  of 
the  public  roads,  and  by  means  of  fome  new 
ones  opened  to  the  weft,  the  road  through 
Oxford  is  become  very  confiderable.  And 
though  no  particular  Manufacture  has  been 
eftablifhed,  its  trade  in  general  has  been  in- 
creafed  by  the  improvements  here  mentioned.]

I.    MERTON     COLLEGE  (i). 

THIS  College,  as  I  faid  before,  according  to  the  time  of  its  endow- 
ment,  craves  the  firft  place  of  all  Colleges  in  Oxford.  The  firft 
foundation  of  it  was  at  Meaudon,  (now  called  Maldon)  in  Surrey  j  laid 
and  appointed  (2)  there  by  Walter  de  Merton,  Clerk,  (fometime  Lord  Chan- 
cellor of  England,  and  afterward  Bifhop  of  Rochefter)  A.  D.  1264 ;  for  the 
maintenance  of  which,  and  the  Scholars  therein,  to  the  number  of  twenty, 
befides  three  Minifters  of  the  altar,  or  Chaplains,  he  gave  the  faid  manor  of 
Meaudon,  and  that  of  Farleigh  in  the  aforefaid  county.  Furthermore  alfo, 
that  the  faid  Scholars  might  be  educated  in  liberal  arts  and  fciences,  he 
appointed  for  them  an  houfe  in  Oxford  to  which  they  might  retire  (as 
divers  Religious  places  in  England  did  to  their  refpedcive  houfes  there) 
and  this  he  did,  becaufe  at  that  place,  and  no  where  elfe  in  England,  ge- 
neral learning  flourifhed  :  for  the  very  truth  is,  as  I  have  before  told  you,  if 
general  learning  or  ftudies  had  flourilhed  at  Cambridge,  he  would  without 
doubt  have  appointed  his  faid  Scholars  to  go  there,  having  then  or  foon 
after  a  houfe  and  mannor  at  that  place,  and  other  lands  feven  and  ten  miles 
diftant.  But  little  or  nothing  there  favouring,  as  we  may  fuppofe,  of  ge- 
neral learning,  he  therefore  appointed  them  to  go  to  Oxford,  and  fludy 
there,  "  vel  alibi  ubi  ftudium  vigere  contigerit."  Afterward  the  Founder's 
mind  being  aliened  from  Maldon,  chiefly  upon  a  peace  made  between  the 
King  and  his  Barons,  (though  it  lafted  not  long)  which  was  the  caufe  that 
the  Scholars  of  Oxford  were  called  home  from  Northampton  (who  before 
had  fided  with  the  faid  Barons)  and  again  fettled  •,  he  firft  of  all,  in  order  to 
their  tranflation  to  Oxford,  purchafed  (3)  of  the  Abbey  of  Reading  a  tene- 
ment; viz.  "  totam  placeam  ex  occidentali  parte  ecclelise  S.  Johannis  Bap- 
tiftas  Oxon,  quondam  aedificatam,  tunc  autem  vacuam,  ad  quod  quidem

the  chiefeft  part  of  the  forefront  of  the  College  now  ftands,  in  St.  John

1267,  to  eftablifh  it  for  ever  "  per  nomen  Domus  Scholarium  de  Merton." 
Which  charter,  together  with  the  flatutes  contained  therein,  continuing  in 
force  till  1270,  at  what  time  others  were  given,  and  thofe  till  1274,  another  (8),

the  Author's  MS  Catalogue  of  Fellows,  one 
in  1 291,  and  the  other  in  1320:  and  he 
queries  of  each,  Whether  the  fame  as  Sir  H. 
Savile  fpeaks  of;  as  he  does  alfo  in  his  MS 
Notes  on  Godwin  ;  and  in  other  Catalogues 
there  is  the  bare  iirname  of  Segrwve,  temp.

this  Univerfity,  and  a  very  learned  man  ; 
but  of  what  houfe  no  mention  is  m^ade. 

There  are  alfo  two  other  names  in  the 
Author's  MS  Catalogue  of  Fellows,  of  whom 
he  notes  as  follows. 

*  Ed.  I,  1296.  Will,  de  Luda,  One  Will  de 
Luda  was  Bifhop  of  Ely  1 290,  before  this 
WiU.  was  Bach.' 

*  Ed.  III.  1356.  jfoh.  de  Bokyngham  or 
Buckingham.  If  not  Fellow  yet  a  Student 
in  the  Houfe  about  this  time,  and  a  perfon 
eminent  for  School  divinity  ;  but  not  the  fame 
with  Jo.  de  Bokyngham  B.  of  Lync.  1363.' 

Godwin  indeed  fuppofes  him  to  be  the 
fame  learned  Dodtor  of  this  Univerfity. 

Bp  Bokyngham  was  a  great  Benefaftor  to 
New  Coll.  and  is  placed  by  the  Author  among 
the  Biihops  there. — Of  Sever  Bp  of  Durh.  fee

(40)  [It  muft  now  be  noted,  that  in  a 
certain  charter,  (In  Thes.  Coll.  Mert.  in 
pixide  cui  tit.  eft  Oxon,  A.  i.  22.)  dated  on 
Monday  next  going  before  the  Feaft  of  St. 
Mathias  the  Apoftle,  51  Hen.  Ill  Dom. 
1 266,  I  find  that  one  Jacob,  the  fon  of  Ma- 
tter Mofey,  a  Jew  of  London,  by  Henna  his 
wife,  conveyed  to  Walter  de  Merton,  fome- 
time  Chancellor  to  the  King,  his  houfes  in 
St.  John  Baptift's  parifh  in  Oxon,  for  the 
building  of  an  Hall  or  College  for  his  Scho- 
lars, that  he  had  lately  fettled  at  Meaudon  in 
Surrey.  But  becaufe  Mr.  Anthony  Beke, 
and  his  Brother  Thomas  Beke,  did  then  live 
and  abide  in  the  faid  houfes,  he  therefore 


made  this  condition  -.virh  the  faid  Walter  de 
Merton,  that  he  fliould  fufFer  the  faid  An- 
thony and  Thomas  to  inhabit  in  the  faid 
houfes  from  the  feaft  of  St.  Michael  follow- 
ing till  three  years  after  were  expired,  by 
paying  to  his  Warden  and  Scholars,  that  he 
was  then  about  to  fettle  in  thole,  and  other, 
houfes  adjoining,  an  hundred  Ihillings  year- 
ly, &-c.  [the  exaft  allowance,  it  may  be  ob- 
ferved,  for  Commons  amongft  the  Fellows.] 

Thus  the  effecl  of  the  faid  charter, 
which  I  thougkt  fit  to  mention  here,  be- 
caufe the  faid  Anthony  and  Thomas  (who 
were  the  fons  of  Walter  Beke,  Baron  of 
Krelby  in  Lincolnfaire,  did  continue  ftudy- 
ing  in  the  faid  houfes,  during  the  term  of 
the  laid  three  years,  among  the  Mcrtonians. 
So  that  though  they  cannot  be  numbered 
among  the  Fellows,  yet  may  they  be  among 
thofe  who  lived  on  their  own  patrimony,  fuch 
as  we  now  call  Commoners ;  and  I  believe- 
they  were  the  firft  that  [this  Society]  had  of 
perlons  of  that  condition.  They  were  relations 
to  the  Founder. — Anthony  de  Beke  was  well 
acquainted  with  the  Founder;  for  in  his 
will,  dated  on  tuefday  next  going  before  the 
feaft  of  St.  Simon  and  St.  Jude,  1277,  he 
does  make  this  bequeft  to  him — '  Item  lego 
Dno  Antonio  Beck  unum  de  annulis  meis, 
fell,  meliorem,  et  domos  meas  apud  Sarum, 
fi  has  habere  voluerit,  alioquin  habeat  eas 
Mr.  Will,  de  Ewell  nepos  meus,  et  eas  fu- 
ftentari  faciat,  ita  tamen  quod  predidlus 
Dnus  Antonius  earum  ufum  quando  et  quo- 
cies  fibi  placuerit.'  He  became  afterward 
the  great  and  potent  Biftiop  of  Durham, 
1283,  and  at  length  Patriarch  of  Jerufalem. 
— Thomas  Beke,  his  brother,  was  Chancellor 
of  this  Univerfity  1269,  afterward  Bp  of  St, 
David's,  Lord  Treafurer  of  England,  and  in 
1319  was  tranflated  to  Lincoln.  (Auth.  MS

of  Divinity,  and  Chancellor  of  the  Univer-

BUILDINGS. 

TO  let  pafs  other  confiderable  matters  of  this  College,  I  fhould  proceed 
to  fpeak  of  the  increafe  and  enlargement  of  this  College  in  feveral  ages,  and 
the  benefadors  to  the  buildings  thereof,  {6y)  but  time  being  requirable  for 


{67)  [The  College  confifts  now,  as  it  ori- 
ginally did,  of  three  Courts,  and  a  very  large 
and  handfome  Gothic  Church  or  Chapel. 

The  front  of  the  firft  or  outer  Court  to  the 
ftreet,  which  is  the  lodging  or  chamber  part, 
was  rebuilt  by  the  College  in  15S9,  all  but 
the  Tower  and  Gate,  which  is  of  earlier 
date,  and  as  an  embattle  Tower,  or  Tower 
with  battlements,  was  erefted  under  licenfe 
from  the  Crown  by  Bp  Rudburne,  (Thes. 
Coll.  pix.  A 1 ,  3  3)  Warden  of  the  Coll.  in  1 4 1 6, 
and  Chancellor  of  the  Univ.  in  1420.  The 
Warden's  Lodgings,  on  the  eaft  fide  of  this 
court,  are,  in  feme  part  of  them,  taken  to  be 
as  old  as  the  foundation  of  the  College,  but 
in  the  chief  or  dwelling  part  were  built  by 
Wardens  Sever  and  Fitzjames, 

The  larger  or  inner  Court,  and  fouth  of 
the  firft,  is  a  better  building,  and  better  fi- 
tuated,  with  very  good  and  pleafant  apart- 
ments to  the  fields  and  gardens.  It  is  about 
1 10  feet  long,  and  100  broad,  and  was  com- 
pleated  at  the  College  expence  in  1610. 

The  third  or  fmall  court,  is  fouth  of  the. 
Chapel,  and  in  the  way  to  it  from  the  two 
other  Courts.  Its  date  or  time  of  building 
may  be  referred  to  that  of  the  Library  (about 
1376)  which  makes  fo  great  a  part  of  it;  as 
fee  in  what  follows  of  the  Library.  Dr. 
Plot  in  his  Natural  Hiftory  of  Oxfordfhire 
(c.  9.  par.  137.)  takes  notice  of  the  roof  of  a 
building  in  this  cou-t,  called  the  Treafury,  as 
a  very  o4d  and  particular  piece  of  ftonework. 

The  Hall  is  between  the  firft  and  inner 
courts,  which  open  into  each  other,  by  a 
very  wide  and  handfome  arch  adjoining  to 
the  Hall,  and  connecting  it  with  the  War- 
den's Lodgings.  In  the  roof  of  this  arch- 
way are  reprefented  the  twelve  figns  of  the 
zodiac,  with  the  arms  of  the  King  in  the 
centre.  The  Hall  is  a  large  and  plain 
building,  erefted  as  it  lliould  feem  before 
the  chapel,   and  at   the  common   expence. 

It  was  repaired  in  1540,  as  appears  by  the 
date  on  the  wainfcot,  at  the  upper  end  of  it, 
where  are  likewife  cut  an4  pointed  the  arms 


of  the  College,  and  of  the  then  King,  Henry  , 
VIII.     And  in    the  windows,  though   very 
lately  new  glazed,  feme  of  the  ancient  arms 
are  ftill  preferved :    and  fo  in  the  principal 
rooms  in  the  Warden's  Lodgings. 

The  Library,  as  before  noted,  is  in  the  ■ 
fmall  old  court,  or  quadrangle,  and  forms 
in  a  great  degree  the  fouth  and  weft  fides  of 
it.  It  was  the  benefaction  of  William  Rede, 
Fellow  of  the  College  in  1349,  and  Bifhop 
of  Chichefter  in  1369,  as  before  mentioned. 
The  time  confidered,  as  before  the  invention 
Oi  printing,  it  was  a  great  and  noble  repofi- 
tory,  for  Manufcripts  only  ;  it  being  now  no 
inconfiderable  one,  as  a  College  Library,  for 
them  and  printed  books,  with  each  of  which, 
by  various  beneficence,  it  is  now  handfomely 
provided. 

The  Chapel  is  at  the  weft  end  of  the  firft 
court,  and  is  likewife  the  parifh  church.  The 
Author  himfelf  gives  the  following  account  of 
it.  *  The  parilh  church  of  St.  John  Baptift, 
fituated  in  the  ftreet  called  St.  John's  ftreet, 
was  a  church  of  an  ancient  erection,  and  be- 
longed in  old  time  to  ths  Abbey  of  Reading  ; 
who,  for  the  great  refpeft  they  bore  to  Wal- 
ter de  Merton,  and  his  foundation  going  on- 
\yard  at  Oxon,  freely  by  their  charter  (ex 
Archiv.  Coll.  Mert.  in  pix.  A.  i,  17.  X.  598. 
M  p.  6.)  gave  and  granted  it  to  him  (Rich, 
being  then  Abbat)  A.  D.  1265;  together 
with  a  void  plot  of  ground,  lying  at  the 
weft  end  of  it,  whereon  before  was  an  an- 
cient; fdi^e,  and  to  which  the  advowfon  of 
the  faid  church  did  belong  :  fo  that  the  fame 
being  thus  given,  was  confirmed  to  him 
and  his  afligns  by  Henry  III,  to  the  end  that 
his  Scholars  might  celebrate  divine  fervicc 
therein,  and  confirmed  alfo  by  the  bilhop 
and  chapter  of  Lyncoln.  (utinpix.  A  i,  59. 
M.  p  6.  14.)  Afterward  when  the  incum- 
bent or  redor  thereof,  Wil.  de  Chetyngdon 
was  dead,  'twas  then,  (as  I  find)  viz.  1292, 
appropriated  by  Oliver,  BiQiop  of  Lyncoln, 
(Ibid.  A  I,  63,  64)  to  the  Scholars  of  Mer- 
ton College,  and  alfo  made  a  Collegiate

the  Church  belonging  to  this  College. 


being  from  that  time  ftiled  in  ancient  e- 
vidences  Ecdelia  Parochialis  fanfti  Joannis 
de  Merton,  in  others  Ecclefia  S.  Johis  de 
Merton,  and  de  Merton  Hall.  So  that  they 
occupying  it  as  their  parifli  church  on  fefli- 
val  and  Lord's  days  for  the  celebration  of 
God's  fervice,  they  having  a  Chapel  on  the 
ibuth  fide  of  their  College,  dedicated  to  the 
Virgin  Mary,  (where  the  Kitchen  now  is)  to 
celebrate  on  weekly  days;  all  the  parochial 
care,  that  before  relied  on  the  Reftor  thereof, 
was  now  tranilated  to  them  ;  who,  accord- 
ing to  the  injunftions  fpecified  at  the  time  of 
its  appropriation, : were  to  find  a  Chaplain, 
who  was  to  perform  all  thofe  church  offices 
to  the  parifh  as  the  Redor  before  ufedto  do, 
viz.  in  baptizing,  marrying,  burying  the 
dead,  and  the  like,  as  it  is  to  thefe  times 
orderly  continued. 

This  church  in  procefs  of  time  being  ru- 
inous, or  rather  too  little  to  contain  the 
number  of  Students  and  parifhioners,  was  by 
the  College  pulled  down  to  the  ground,  and 
by  them  on  the  fame  place  was  erefled  this 
comely  and  decent  church,  now  Handing, 
confining  of  a  fair  choir  or  chancel,  with  an 
outward  church,  and  a  ftateiy  well  built 
tower;  half  of  which  church,  containing  the 
north  ifle,  was  allotted  for  the  parifli  for  the 
fepultnre  of  their  deceafes.  After  its  to- 
tal ereftion,  'twas  rededicated  (Ibid,  in  A 
r^72,  M.  6.)  to  the  fame  faint  as  before, 
A.  1424'.  (Auth.  MS  Papers  concerning  the 
City  of  Oxford,  f.  308.  a.  8491.  F,  29, 
Aflim.  Muf ) 

Alexander  Fifher,  fometime  fenior  Fellow 
of  this  College,  and  who  died  fuddenly  in 
his  new  houfe  in  Holiwell,  Od.  23,  1671, 
paved  the  Chapel  with  black  and  white 
marble  at  his  own  charge,  a  Ihort  time  be- 
fore his  death.  (Wood's  Life,  p.  246.) 
See  his  epitaph  in  the  Chapel.  He  alfo 
wainfcotted  and  feated  it  with  oak  in  1671  j 
and  when  he  died  left  money  for  adorning 
the  eaft  window  in  it  with  painted  glafs.  He 
made  Dr.  Lydall,  Phyfician,  and  afterward 
Warden,  one  of  his  executors ;  who  was  not 
only  faithful  to  the  truft,  but  alfo  generoufly 
contributed  to  the  expenfe  of  the  window.

The  public  buildings  of  this  College, 
though  fome  of  the  oldeft,  are  ftill  feen 
to  be  fome  of  the  largeft  .  And  of  the  build- 
ings which  preceded,  our  Author  has  in  ge- 
neral intimated;  that  they  exceeded  thofe  of 
the  other  five  moll  early  Colleges ;  a  matter 
of  which  there  can  be  no  doubt,  with  thofe 
who  know  the  difference  of  the  numbers 
contained  in  them. — The  Hall  for  inftance, 
to  judge  by  this  difference,  may  be  prefumed 
rot  only  to  have  exceeded  the  other  HalJs, 
but  not  to  have  been  in  itfelf  a  fmall  one. 
The  Lihary,  before  the  pref^fnt  vtry  ancient 
one,  we  know  no  more  of,  than  that  it  was  a 
Room,  at  firft  with  one  Cheit  for  books,  and 
afterward,  as  books  increafed,  with  more 
Chells  in  it.  And  of  all  thefe  places, 
there  are  fome  notices  ftill  lemaining,  in  the 
wills  and  gifts,  and  other  memorials  of  mem- 
bers and  benefadlors. 

No  certain  number  of  Scholars  were  ap- 
pointed by  the  Founder,  only  that  it  fhould 
be  according  to  the  revenues  of  the  Houfe, 
(Auth.  MSS  Ballard  )  And  hence  there  has 
been  no  fmall  variation  in  this  refpeft.  It 
now  confifls  of  a  Warden,  24  Fellows,  2 
Chaplains,  14  Poft»-mafters,  4  Scholars,  and

As  for  the  monuments  that  remain,  which  are  in  the  north  part  of  the 
church,  and  belong  to  thofe  that  died  in  the  parifh,  I  fhall  remember  in  my 
Survey  of  Oxford,  when  I  come  to  fpeak  of  this  Church  as  a  Parifh  Church  j 
and  in  the  mean  while  take  notice  of  thofe  few  Arms  and  feneftral  Infcrip- 
tions,  that  have  been  lately  remaining.

II.      UNIVERSITY      COLLEGE. 

I  HAVE  obferved  in  my  reading,  that  thofe  printed  authors  that  occafion- 
ally  make  mention  of  the  UnivciTity  of  Oxford,  and  the  feveral  Houfes 
of  learning  therein,  do  attribute  t!ie  Foundation  of  this  to  the  piety  of 
King  Alfred,  and  fome  alfo  the  Reftoration,  making  thereby  the  place  more 
ancient  than  its  time.  So  that  feveral  having  been  pofTeft  with  a  belief  of  it, 
have  been  fo  fledfafb  in,  as  to  maintain  a  public  controverfy  about  it.  But  at 
length,  after  my  curious  fearch  into  obfcure  fcripts  to  fatisfy  myfelf  in  this 
matter,  (having  been  carried  away  alfo  with  the  like  perfuafion)  I  find  that 
the  origin  of  this  report,  that  hath  fo  much  deluded  authors,  is  no  ancienter 
than  the  time  of  K.  Richard  II  :  for  then  it  was  that  this  Hall  or  Collese 
being  much  entangled  in  law  fuits  with  one  Edmund  Frauncis,  a  citizen  of 
London,  concerning  divers  lands  and  tenements  in  and  near  Oxford,  the 
members  thereof  did  (as  'tis  faid)  put  up  a  petition  (i)  in  French  to  the 
parliament,  fitting  in  the  feventh  year  of  the  faid  King,  to  the  end,  as  I 
fuppofe,  that  they  might  find  mercy  and  relief.  And  that  they  might  ef- 
feftually  bring  their  defigns  to  pafs,  they  tell  the  members  of  parliament 
in  their  petition,  that  forafmuch  that  St.  John  of  Beverley,  St.  Bede,  Ri- 
chardus  Armachanus,  and  many  other  famous  Dodlors  and  Clerks,  had  been 
Students  or  Scholars  of  the  fame  Hall,  of  which  their  petitioners  were,  they 
would  for  that  reafon  favour  them  and  the  flate  of  their  Houfe  the  more ;  &c. 

The  copy  of  this  petition,  which  is  in  the  Tower  of  London,^  I  have  not 
yet  ken,  but  another,  written  in  parchment,  remaining  in  this  College 
Treafury,  I  have,  and  feems  to  me  to  be  authentical  •,  I  mean,  to  be  written 
in  the  faid  King's  reign  •,  but  for  the  truth  of  that  pafiage  therein,  that  St. 
John  of  Beverley,  St.  Bede,  &c.  had  been  Scholars  of  this  Houfe,  I  altoge- 
ther deem  it  to  be  a  fable,  knowing  very  well  (as  I  have  elfewhere  told  you) 
that  no  part  of  the  fite  or  precin6ls  of  this  College  now  in  being,  was 
bought  in  for  the  ufe  of  the  Scholars  of  Mafter  William  of  Durham,  or 
any  elfe,  till  the  reign  of  K.  Edward  III,  and  that  the  Univerfity  had  no 
intereft  within  the  faid  precindts,  only  fo  far  as  to  put  in  or  out  certain 
Principals  of  Halls  or  Townfmens'  houfes  that  flood  therein. 

This  then  being  the  report  of  this  imagined  piece  of  antiquity,  (which 
was  by  many,  not  knowing  in  Hiftories,  received  for  a  truth)  it  followed, 
that  when  this  College  v/as  built  quadrangular,  in  the  time  of  K.  Henry  VI, 
that  order  fhould  be  taken  to  fet  up  in  fome  of  the  windows  thereof  the 
picture  of  St.  John  of  Beverley,  with  an  infcription  under  him  to  fhew  that 
he  was  of  this  Houfe  :  Alfo  that  the  pidure  of  K.  Alfred  Ihould  be  placed 
in  them,  and  an  infcription  under  him,  to  Ihew  that  he  was  either  the 
Founder  or  Reftorer  thereof.

So  that  in  after  times  tliefe  monuments  being  obferved  by  ftrangers,  gave 
occafion  to  authors  to  fpeak,  in  the  fcveral  books  that  they  publifhed,  of  the 
great  antiquity  of  this  place  -,  namely,  among  the  reft,  William  Harrifon  in  his 
*'Dercription  of  England,'  (2)  in  the  beginning  of  (^  Elizabeth,  Thomas 
Key  in  his  *  Aflertion  of  Oxford's  Antiquity'  (3),  Brian  Twyne  in  his 
'  Apologie'  (4),  and  others;  and  withal  to  make  them  conclude,  that  if  St. 
John  of  Beverley  had  ftudied  here,  it  muft  needs  follow  that  K.  Alfred  did 
rather  reftore  than  found  this  Houfe.  Nay,  and  to  carry  them  and  others 
away  with  a  belief,  that  after  K.  Alfred's  time,  this  Houfe,  fuffering  great 
mifery  by  the  often  incurfions  of  the  Danes,  laid  in  a  manner  defolate  till  it 
was  recovered  with  the  benefaflion  of  Mr.  William  of  Durham. 

It  muft  alfo  be  remembered,  that  thefe  opinions  having  been  fettled  in. 
the  minds  of  fome  men,  it  pleafed  the  Univerfity  (probably  upon  the  fame 
account)  in  an  Epiftle  (5)  to  Pope  Eugenius  IV,  written  in  commendation 
of  Mr.  Richard  Wytton,  lately  Mafter  of  this  Houfe,  about  the  year  1441, 
to  ftile  it  '  Collegium  antiquius  Univerfitatis  Oxon,'  and  in  two  or  three 
more  (6)  to  other  perfons,  their  'Senior  Filia,'  but  whether  upon  an  opinion 
of  its  great  antiquity  beforementiorred,  or  that  it  was  the  firft  endowed  houfe 
among  them,  (which  is  alfo  falfe)  I  cannot  at  prefent  refolve. 

But  all  thefe  matters,  with  many  more,  being  not  able  to  convince  a  cu- 
rious fearcher  into  venerable  antiquity,  efpecially  one  that  decides  all  memo- 
rabies  by  time  and  chronology,  whereby  he  difcovers  authors  to  trip  in  their 
connexion  of  things,  we  muft  proceed  to  Record  that  lies  not,  from  which 
I  do  not  doubt  but  that  we  ftiall  eafily  find,  that  this  Houfe  had  its  origin 
from  the  benefa(5lion  of  William  of  Durham,  (7)  and  that  the  prefent  fite 
of  this  place  was  moftly  bought  in,  when  Edward  III  reigned. 

However,  before  I  proceed  to  make  mention  of  thefe  matters,  I  muft 
firft  tell  you  that  John  Stow  and  Ralph  Holinftied  are  pleafed  to  fay  in  their 
refpedtive  Chronicles,  (8)  that  one  William  Caerliph,  Bifhop  of  Durham, 
was  the  original  Founder  of  this  place,  about  the  middle  of  the  reign  of 
William  the  Conqueror,  which  perhaps  may  be  the  reafon  why  fome  have 
written  that  it  was  frequented  by  Scholars  about  the  Conqueft  timej  of 
which  matter  I  having  feen  nothing  elfewhere,  either  in  public  authors  or 
private  writings  (notwithftanding  the  former  of  the  faid  authors  faith  that 
he  had  feen  it  written  in  a  manufcript  containing  the  Ads  of  the  Biftiops  of 
Durham  •,  which  book  (9)  alfo  (I  know  not  whether  the  very  fame)  I  have 
perufed,  but  cannot  find  any  fuch  matter)  I  ftiall  not  aver  it  for  a  truth.

among  fome,  that  have  attributed  the  Endowment  or  Reftoration  of  this 
place  to  two  Perfons  -,  that  is  to  fay,  to  William  of  Durham,  Archdeacon 
of  Durham,  and  to  William  Shirwoode,  Chancellor  of  Lincoln,  which 
breedeth  no  fmall  confufion  among  hiftorians ;  as  for  example,  firft,  John 
Roufe  the  Warwick  Antiquary,  who  fai[h(io)  that:  the  faid  William  of 
Durham  or  Deorham,  Archdeacon  of  Durham,  fometime  Fellow  of  this 
Hall,  endowed  it ;  which  William,  according  to  Matthew  Parys,  (as  he 
further  faith)  who  names  him  Williamus  de  Dunelm,  died  in  his  return 
from  Rome  an.  1249:  Secondly,  John  Leland,  who  attributes  (1  1 )  this 
work  to  the  charity  of  William  Shirwoode,  and  that  after  he  had  fpent  a 
certain  time  in  foreign  ftudies,  as  at  Paris  and  elfewhe.e,  was  after  his  return 
into  England,  made  Chancellor  of  Lincoln,  but  yet  miftrulling  fomcwhat 
of  his  firname,  doth  apologize  for  himfelf,  by  telling  us  that  ancient  wri- 
ters were  moft  negligent  in  delivering  the  firnames  of  men,  by  writing  either 
the  chriflian  name  only,  or  the  dignity  they  enjoyed,  confounding  thereby 
pofterity  in  the  enquiry  after  the  hiltory  of  men.  In  which  part  (as  he  fur- 
ther adds)  Roger  Bacon  hath  erred,  (12)  who  applauding  the  worth  of  the 
faid  Shirwoode  by  faying  that  he  was  wifer  than  Albertus  magnus,  and  that 
nobody  was  greater  in  philofophy  than  he,  ftiles  him  William,  Chancellor 
of  Lyncoln.  He  alfo  further  fhews  unto  us  that  Matthew  Parys  tells  us,  in 
the  reign  of  Hen.  Ill,  that  William  of  Durham  (Re6tor  af  Weeremude) 
was  at  Rome,  and  that  he  was  cleded  to  the  Archbifhoprick  of  Rouen,  but 
in  his  return  thence  died  an.  1249,  and  was  buried  in  the  church  of  his  fee* 
But  him  our  author  is  not  fo  bold  as  to  affirm  the  fame  with  William  Shir- 
woode i  for  the  refpeftive year  of  their  deceafe  meeting  together  caufeth  him  to 
believe  (though  but  upon  a  naked  conjefture)  that  Matt.  Parys  mutually  took 
(though  Icfs  proper)  his  firname  from  Durham,  of  which  he  was  Archdeacon. 

Thus  in  effedt  Leland.  John  Bale  (13)  faith  nothing  of  this  work  in  the 
life  of  William  Shirwoode,  only  that  he  fhewed  great  piety  by  endeavouring 
to  recall  the  Scholars  of  Oxford,  that  were  excommunicated  and  difperfed 
upon  the  outrage  committed  againft  Otho  the  Pope's  Legate  •,  neither  alfo 
doth  Jo.  Pitfeus,  becaufe  Bale  is  filent  ia  it,  for  whatfoever  Bale  doth  deli- 
ver, he  hath  unreafonably  ftolen,  without  any  acknowledgement  (but  rather 
fcorn)  to  the  author.  However  this  I  muft  note,  that  in  his  Appendix  (14) 
to  his  book  '  De  illuftribus  Anglise  fcriptoribus,'  he  doth  fay  fomething  of 
William  of  Durham,  but  nothing  of  his  benefadlion  to  this  place,  being  the 
fame  that  he  writes  (if  equally  viewed  and  compared)  with  that  which  he  de- 
livers of  William  Shirwoode  in  the  body  of  his  work,  making  them  thereby

beforementioned,  and  more  in  all  probability  you  might  have,  if  the  lealt 
fearch  were  made  -,  but,  omitting  tliem  at  this  time,  I  fhall  proceed  to  that 
which  is  found  recorded  among  the  Muniments  of  this  Houfe,  which  ge- 
nerally ftile  this  perfon,  that  we  have  mentioned,  William  of  Durham, 
and  William,  Archdeacon  of  Durham,  without  the  leafl:  hint  of  Shirwood, 
or  any  other  name. 

The  faid  William  therefore  deceafing  an.  1249,  left  in  the  hands  of  his 
executors  three  hundred  and  ten  marks,  to  the  end  that  with  the  revenues 
ifluino-  thence  ten  or  eleven  or  twelve  Mafters,  or  more,  fhould  be  fuftained 
and  relieved  (15)  in  the  Schools  of  Oxford.  The  executors  delivered  the 
faid  fum  thereupon  to  the  Chancellor  and  Mafters  of  the  Univerfity,  that 
they  might  difpofe  of  it  according  to  his  will ;  the  which,  after  they  had 
received,  they  lent  it  out  to  Scholars  upon  pledges  given  in,  and  ufe  paid  at 
the  return  thereof,  to  the  end  that  with  the  intereil  the  faid  number  of  Ma- 
fters might  be  fuftained. 

This  way  of  improving  continued  feveral  years,  as  divers  fcripts  (hew. 
One  is  an  Epiftle  (16)  of  Adam  de  Marifco,  Archdeacon  of  Oxford,  to 
Richard  de  S.  Agatha,  Chancellor  of  this  Univerfity,  about  the  year  1256, 
whereby  the  faid  Adam  intreateth  him,  that  he  would  lend  forty  pounds  of 
the  money  of  Mr.  William  of  Durham,  bequeathed  by  him  for  charitable 
ufes,  to  Mr.  Simon  de  Valencinis,  or  Valentinis,  Canon  of  the  cathedral 
church  of  Lincoln  ;  which,  as  'tis  probable,  they  did,  and  received  intereft 
for  it,  as  they  did  from  other  perfons. 

But  in  the  mean  time  they,  the  Chancellor  and  Mafters,  purchafed,  as  op- 
portunity ferved,  certain  tenements  in  Oxford,  efpecially  fuch  that  were 
inhabited  by  Clerks,  becaufe  the  rent  proceeding  from  them  was  far  larger 
than  that  from  ordinary  houfmg.  They  were  not  wanting  alfo  to  advance 
the  revenue  of  the  faid  money,  and  though  fometimes  the  fum  that  they  lent 
was  fmall,  yet  they  never  abated  one  farthing  for  the  intereft. 

The  firft  tenements  that  they  purchafed  with  the  faid  money  were  Little 
Univerfity  Hall,  Brafenofe  Hall,  Drowda  Hall,  and  fifteen  ftiillings;  an- 
nual rent  iffuing  from  two  tenements  in  the  parifti  of  St.  Peter  in  the  eaft,

Mr.  Henry  de  Stanton  was  Chancellor,  to  make  inquifition  into  the  will  of 
the  laid  Mr.  William,  Archdeacon  of  Durham,  how  the  money  was  be- 
llowed, and  what  was  become  of  the  remainder  (for  it  was  thirty  years  fince 
the  faid  William  died) ;  they  found,  that  he  had  left  the  aforefaid  money  for 
the  number  which  is  before  mentioned  towards  their  reliefj  that  the  Univer- 
fity  had  borrowed  part  of  the  remainder,  being  then  an  hundred  pounds  and 
ten  marks,  for  their  own  affairs,  and  the  other  part  let  out  to  certain  perfons, 
of  which  nothing  was  then  reftored. 

Thefe  matters  the  deputed  Matters  (or  Delegates)  taking  into  their  confi-" 
deration,  ordered,  that  of  the  goods  or  revenues  which  had  been  already 
bought  of  the  aforefaid  310  marks,  four  Matters  of  good  learning  and  man- 
ners, who  had  ruled  in  arts,  ttiould  be  ele(5ted  under  this  form  following  :  (19) 

"  The  Chancellor,  with  the  Matters  in  Divinity  called  to  him,  fhall,  after 
they  have  firft  confented  together,  call  certain  Matters  of  other  faculties, 
whom  they  think  fit  to  be  called;  and  thofe  Matters,  with  the  Chancel- 
lor, fhall  by  the  faith  and  truth  that  they  are  obliged  to  the  Univerfity, 
choofe,  from  thofe  that  ttiall  offer  to  live  by  the  revenues  aforefaid,  four 
Matters  whom  they  think  mott  apt,  according  to  their  confciences,  to  pro- 
fit in  the  holy  church,  and  fuch  that  have  not,  from  elfewhere,  wherewith 
they  might  live  honeftly  in  the  ttate  of  Matterfhip  -,  and  for  the  future  the 
fame  way  of  eleftion  fhall  be  obferved,  unlefs  the  faid  four,  who  are  futt^ained, 
be  called  from  the  faid  charity  to  eledion  with  the  aforefaid  Matters.  Of 
which  fourj  one  fliall  be  a  priett  at  the  leatt,  and  each  ttiall  receive  annually 
for  their  futtenance  fifty  fhillings  of  the  revenues  that  are  already  bought. 
One  of  the  faid  four  alfo,  together  with  a  Matter  ruling  in  arts  aflifting  him, 
fhall  keep  and  overfee  the  revenues  already  bought,  and  procure  the  buying 
of  others,  and  order  the  affairs,  advance  and  execute  them,  and  fhall  be  a 
Procurator,  and  fhall  receive  fifty  ttiillings  yearly,  more  than  the  fifty  ttiil- 
lings  allowed  him,  if  the  faid  revenues  can  by  his  good  hufbandry  arife  to 
fo  much." 

"  The  faid  four  Matters  alfo  inhabiting  together,  fhall  hear  Divinity,  and 
if  they  can,  or  it  feemeth  expedient  to  them,  the  Decrees  or  Decretals.  *  Qiii

beinn-  colkfled,  it  lliall  not  be  lawful  for  any  to  depute  it  to  other  ufes  than 
to  th^at  which  was  in  the  laft  will  of  the  teftator  •,  and  as  foon  as  other  rents 
fliould  be  bought,  the  number  and  exhibition  of  IMafters  fhould  be  encreafed. 
And  this  moreover  the  faid  deputed  Matters  ordained,  that  the  houfes  be- 
longing to  the  faid  four  Matters,  fliould  not  become  Schools,  unlefs  with 
their  confents.". 

Thus  far  in  effefi:  the  faid  form  or  orders  (under  the  Univerfity  feal  of 
crreen  wax)  which  for  feveral  years  were  carefully  obferved,  till  mixed  with, 
and  remitted  chiefly  into  certain  ftatutes  or  orders  afterwards  given  to  them. 

This  then  being  the  firft  fettlement  that  was  made  for  the  Exhibitioners 
of  Mr.  Will,  of  Durham,  who  before  lived  in  feveral  halls,  and  received  the 
faid  benefaction,  as  an  accidental  exhibition,  to  encourage  them  in  their 
ttudies ;  the  Univerfity  about  that  time  (namely  1280)  did  appoint  for  them 
a  place' to  live  in  and  inhabit  together-,  but  where  it  was,  or  by  what  name 
it  w^as  called,  I  find  not  as  yet,  or  whether  they  lived  in  Little  Univerfity 
Hall  in  School-ftreet,  Brafenofe,  or  Drowda^-Hall,  or  in  a  private  tenement 
hired  at  a  cheap  rate. 

But  wherefoever  this  place  was,  it  matters  not  much,  for  their  revenues 
were  not  only  increafed  within  a  few  years  after  the  faid  orders  were  publilhed, 
by  the  purchafing  of  other  rents  in  Oxford,  and  the  fuburbs  thereof,  bnt 
alVo  with  the  benefaftion  of  one  Gilbert  Yngleberd,  who,  as  a  memoir 
(20)  in  the  Statutes  of  this  College  now  in  ufe  faith,  endowed  the  College 
with  certain  pofiTeflions  about  the  year  1290,  whofe  charge  and  ordination 
doth  not  bind  the  College  to  eled  Graduats  Fellows,  as  from  the  charter 
alfo  of  his  benefaftion  is  evident. 

Two  years .  after  that  gift,  namely  an.  1292,  the  Univerfity  gave  to  the 
faid  Matters  or  Scholars  formal  (21)  Statutes,  whereby  they  fhould  be  go- 
verned, which  continuing  in  ufe  till  an.  131 1,  the  Univerfity  then  gave  to 
them  others  (22)  under  their  common  feal  (this  little  Society  having  not  a 
feal  of  their  own,  nor  had  they  as  I  guefs,  till  about  the  40th  Edw.  Ill, 
they  obtained  the  feal  of  the  Dean  of  Chriftianity,  or  the  Court  Chrittian  (23), 
of  Oxford  to  be  put  to  them)  which  Statutes,  with  certain  ordinations,  (24) 
made  about  3  Rich.  11,  continuing  in  force  till  the  year  1475  •,  (by  which 
time  the  number  of  Fellows  and  Scholars  was  increafed)  the  Univerfity  then, 
and  three  years  after,  (25)  added  more  j  moft  of  all  which  continue  in  force 
to  this  day. 

In  the  year  13 19,  which  was  about  eight  years  after  the  fecond  Statutes 
were  given  to  them,  one  Philip  Beverley,  S.  T.  P.  Redor  of  Kangham  or

UNIVERSITY      COLLEGE.         4.3 

Cayngham,  (fometlmes  (26)  written  Phil.  Yngleberd)  gave  to  this  Society- 
lands  in  Paghel  in  Holdernefs,  one  Rood  in  Kangham,  and  lands  in  other 
places,  for  the  maintenance  of  two  Fellows  more,  who  were  to  be  of  the 
town  of  Beverley,  or  of  Holdernefs,  or  of  the  towns  adjoining  the  faid 
places.  And  if  there  were  none  thence  capable,  then  were  they  to  be 
chofen  according  to  the  difcretion  of  the  Society.  This  perfon  feems  to 
have  been  one  that  did  formerly  partake  of  the  charity  of  Mr.  William  of 
Durham,  and  to  be  tiie  fame  that  was  in  his  time  accounted  the  moft  fubtle 
Ariftotelian  in  the  Univerfity.  (27) 

The  King's  mortmain,  with  liberty  given  to  Ph.  de  Beverley  to  give  lands 
to  the  College,  bears  date  11  Edw.  Ill,  7  Feb.  1336.  (28} 

In  the  7  Edw.  Ill,  one  Robert  de  Replyngham,  Chancellor  of  York, 
gave  3C0I  to  purchafe  lands  for  the  maintenance  of  other  Fellows,  who  were 
to  receive  fix  marks  annually  for  their  diet,  and  the  reft  for  clcathing  and 
fhoes.  But  thefe  gifts  have  been  long  fmce  loft,  eipecially  this  laft,  which 
one  Peter  de  Langton  undertook  to  recover  but  could  not. 

As  for  the  beftowing  the  remainder  of  the  money,  of  which  certain  fums 
were  yet  left,  the  Procurator  was  not  wanting  to  obtain  advantageous  pur- 
chafes  for  the  faid  Mafters  or  Scholars.  The  chiefeft  of  which  (after  the 
faid  Statutes  in  13 11  were  given)  was  that  large  tenement  of  Richard  de 
Tekene,  and  others,  (29)  purchafed  in  the  6th  of  Edw.  Ill,  Dom.  1332, 
being  then  called  Selverne  Hall,  before  (and  fometimes  about  that  time) 
Spycer's  Hall,  and  in  the  reign  of  Hen.  Ill,  called  Durham  hall,  fituate 
and  being,  in  the  Great  Street  in  St.  Mary's  parilh.  This  tenement, 
the  reader  muft  underftand,  to  be  the  firft  of  thofe  that  the  Society  took, 
to  make  and  enlarge  a  manfion  for  them  to  live  in ;  which  being  pur- 
chafed, and  they  fettled  therein,  'twas  called  the  Great  Univerfity  Hall,  be- 
caufe  the  Univerfity  were  patrons  of  it,  and  bigger  than  the  little  Univer- 
fity Hall,  which  they  had  before  bought,  and  fometimes  the  Great  Hall  of 
Mr.  William  of  Durham,  becaufe  purchafed  with  his  benefaftion,  and  at 
length  the  Great  Hall  of  K.  Alfred,  upon  a  fuppofal  of  fome  extravagant 
and  ambitious  perfons  that  he  had  fettled  there  in  his  time  a  Society  of  Clerks, 
Not  long  after,  this  College  purchafing  other  tenements  joyning  to  this, 
called  Selverne  Hall,  did  at  length  pull  them  down,  and  built  their  College 
quadrangular,  which  ftood  for  the  moft  part  till  an.  1668. 

Now  therefore  feeing  that  thefe  things  are  fo,  from  infallible  record,  con-

or  Scholars,  I  cannot  but  call  to  mind  (for  without  guilt  of  conceal- 
ment can  I  omit  it)  that  matter  which  hath  mifled  divers  antiquaries  and 
hiftorians,  relating  unto  us  the  donation  of  this  place  by  the  faid  Mr.  Wil- 
liam. The  thing  that  I  mean  isj  that'  fpurious  charter  kept  to  this  day  in 
the  IVeafury  of  this  houfc,  (a  copy  of  which  is  alfo  among  the  Statutes  {^o) ) 
which  makcth  the  faid  Mr.  William  to  have  been  dead  before  the  year  1220 ; 
and  that  in  the  fame  year  and  before,  this  College  or  Hall  had  purchafcd  all 
the  revenues,  which  the  Scholars  thereof  now  enjoy  by  his  benefadtion  •, 
whereas  a  memoir  (31)  in  the  faid  book  of  ftatutes  belonging  thereunto 
tells  us,  that  the  faid  Mr.  William  was  Archdeacon  of  Durham  (32)  an. 
1280,  and  did  then  endow  it  with  pofleiTions. 

The  charter  begins,  '  Omnibus  Chrifli  fidelibus  ad  quos  prefens  fcriptum 
pervenerit  Magifter  Lodovicus  de  Chapyrnay,  Do6lor  S.  Theologias,  Can- 
cellarius  Univerfitatis  Oxon'  &:c.  and  dated  10  July,  4  Hen.  Ill,  which  Is 
the  year  of  our  Lord  1220.  The  former  and  latter  part  of  which  you  may 
fee  in  our  Antiquary's  Apology  (33)  for  the  antiquity  of  the  Univerfity  of 
Oxford  :  but  how  falfc  it  is  may  not  only  appear  from  the  premilTes,  but 
by  the  charter  itfelf,  and  the  matter  therein  contained. 

Firft  for  the  charter,  which  I  have  feveral  times  feen  and  perufed  ;  the 
hand- writing  therein  is  not  older  than  the  time  of  Richard  II  at  farthell,  and 
I  doubt  not  but  that  it  was  written  fmce  his  time.  Second,  that  the  feal  to  it, 
which  is  that  of  the  Univerfity,  is  of  red  wax,  whereas  at  the  time  when 
this  was  dated  and  after,  the  feals  to  charters  were  generally  of  white  pafte 
thickened,  or  of  green  wax.  Third,  that  the  membrane  on  which  the  char- 
ter is  written,  feemeth  not  to  have  been  worked  and  wrought  in  thofe  times  ; 
my  reafon  for  this  is,  becaufe  it  is  coarfe,  thick,  and  greafy,  whereas  in  the 
reign  of  Hen.  Ill  parchment  was  not  fo,  but  fine  and  clear.  Fourth,  that 
the  ink  wherewith  it  is  written  is  whitifh,  and  feemeth  to  have  been  made 
after  printing  was  invented  (which  then  the  true  way  of  making  it  began 
to  be  loft)  for  whatfoever  was  written  in  the  reign  of  Hen.  Ill,  and  be- 
fore, feems  generally,  efpecially  charters  and  evidences,  to  have  been  writ- 
ten of  late,  lo  good  and  well  made  was  ink  in  ,  thofe  days.  Fifth,  that  it  is 
dated,  which  plainly  fhews  it  to  be  in  a  manner  falfe,  for  moft,  if  not  all, 
charters,  efpecially  of  fiefment,  were  not  from  the  Conqueft  time  till  about 
the  beginning  of  Edw.  II  dated,  as  Sir  Edw.  Coke  doth  in  fome  book  of  his, 
as  I  remember,  note. 

As  for  the  matter  the  faid  Charter  contains,  [it]  is  altogether  repugnant  to 
the  time  when  dated,  and  nothing  therein  m.entioned  (either  of  the  Chancellor 
of  the  Univerfity,  or  Mafter  of  this  Houfe,  or  the  feveral  Halls  therein  re- 
membered) was  fcarce  then  in  being.  Firft,  for  the  Chancellor,  and  Mafter, 
Dr.  Lewis  Chapyrnay,  and  Mr.  Roger  de  Caldwell,  neither  the  writer

fcript  belonging  to  the  Univerfity  or  this  College,  or  the  name  of  Dodor  of 
Divinity  in  books,  or  evidences,  of  thofe  times,  and  therefore  may  well  be 
fuppofed  to  have  been  devifed.  Second,  that  none  of  the  faid  melTuages  were

not  the  names  of  the  faid  Chancellor  and  Mafter  occurred  in  the  writings  of 
the  Univerfity,  or  this  College  ?  And  why  is  it  faid  that  the  executors  of 
William  of  Durham  did  then  give  the  faid  fum  of  money  beforementioned 
to  the  faid  Chancellor  and  Mailers,  when  they  had  been  dead  an  hundred 
years  and  more  before  the  time  of  Rich.  II  ?  Again  alfo,  fome  may  fay, 
why  ihould  the  auchenticalnefs  of  the  faid  Charter  be  fcrupled,  feeino-that 
the  public  feal  of  the  Univerfity  is  hanging  to  it .?  To  this  I  make  anfwer, 
that  in  the  time  of  John  Wycleve,  and  atter,  nay  in  the  reign  of  Hen.  VIII, 
the  feal  being  not  carefully  kept,  as  now  it  is,  'twas  no  difficult  matter  for 
any  officer  or  perfon  of  account  of  the  Univerfity  to  make  ufe  of  it,  as  Peter 
Payne  had  done  in  relation  to  the  Tellimony  of  Wycleve,  and  certain  Doc- 
tors in  the  reign  of  Hen.  VIII,  as  to  the  divorce  from  his  Qiieen  Katharine,, 
as  you  may  fee  in  the  Annals. 

Truly  I  fear  that  there  have  been  fome  perfons  that  have  been  too  igno- 
rantly  bufy  in  driving  up  the  antiquity  of  this  place  as  to  K.  Alfred,%nd 
efpecially  as  to  the  endowment  thereof  by  William  of  Durham,  thinking 
thereby  to  make  it  the  moft  ancient  Houfe,  and  the  firft  that  hath  been  en*^ 
dowcd  in  the  Univerfity  ;  yer>  methinks,  had  they  well  confidcred  with, 
themfelves,  they  would  never  have  attempted  fuch  an  abfurd  matter,  feed- 
ing that  their  defign  might  in  time  be  difcovered,  either  from  their  own 
or  other  writings,  (as  now  it  is)  notwithftanding  a  confiderable  number  con- 
cerning William  of  Durham,  and  of  other  matters,  which  w^uld  not  unlikely 
have  fpoken  truth  concerning  the  bufinefs  now  in  hand,  have  been  long 
fince  (perhaps  purpofely)  conveyed  away  and  loft. 

I  muft  here  let  the  reader  underftand  that  that  writing  which  I  have  men- 
tioned in  Univerfity  College  Schools,  wherein  'tis  faid  that  Andrew,  fon 
of  Andrew  of  Durham,  being  in  pofleflion  of  Brafenofe  Hall,  was  put  out 
of  it  by  Mr.  Adam  Bilet  and  his  Scholars,  feems  to  be  forged ;  for  in  that 
which  I  take  to  be  true  (written  about  1270)  'tis  faid  that  the  beforemen- 
tioned Andrew  held  that  hall  or  tenement  of  the  Chancellor  and  Mafters 
of  the  Univerfity  i  but  in  that  which  I  fuppofe  to  be  forged,  which  is  writ- 
ten on  parchment  alfo,  I  think  that  "  Cancellarius  et  Magiftri  Univerfitatis" 
is  fcratched  out,  and  "  de  Magiftro  ec  Sociis  Collegii  vocati  Magna  Aula 

Univerfitatis 


46         UNIVERSITY      COLLEGE. 

Univerfitatis  Oxon."  put  into  its  place;  which  Hall  was  then  called  Durham 
Hall,  and  not  known  by  the  name  of  Magna  Aula  till  many  years  after. 

The  next  matters  alfo  that  the  reader  muft  know  are,  i.  that  in  many 
writings,  belonging  to  this  college,  and  to  other  places,  written  46th  Edw. 
Ill,  and  after,  the  Mafter  and  Fellows  write  themfelves  "de  Aula  vel  Col- 
legio  Willielmi  de  Dunelm."  2.  That  in  the  old  Calender  or  Rationale 
of  this  College,  Mr.  William  of  Durham  is  ftiled  the  Founder  thus :  "  Ifto 
die"  (meaning  the  2d  of  the  ides  of  January)  "  fiat  mifla  pro  anima  M''. 
WilHelmi  de  Dunelm.  fundatoris  hujus  Collegii,  et  eodem  die  legantur  Sta- 
t'uta,  &c."  and  at  the  8th  of  the  ides  of  06lober  thus,  "  Ifto  die  fiat  mifTa 
pro  anima  M".  Will,  de  Dunelm.  Fundatoris  hujus  Collegii,  et  eodem  die, 
&;c."  3.  That  not  a  word  in  the  faid  Calender  is  mention  made  of  King 
Alfred,  but  what  Mr.  B.  Twyne  wrote  at  or  againft  the  4th  of  the  ides  of 
Nov.  being  the  vigil  of  St.  Martin,  Bilhop  and  ConfefTor,  fignifying,  that 
there  (hould  then  be  a  commemoration  for  the  faid  King,  founder  of  the 
Univerfity,  and  of  this  College.   See  more  in  the  Annals,  an.  900. 

BENEFACTORS. 

BUT  to  omit  thefe  .and  other  matters  relating  to  the  antiquity  of  this 
place,  I  fhall  proceed  to  fpeak  of  other  Benefa6bors  that  have  given  either 
Fellowfliips  or  Scholarlhips,  and  then  to  others  of  fmaller  account,  as  they 
occur  in  various  writings. 

Walter  Sicirlaw,  Bifhop  of  Durham,  procured  to  be  given  (34)  to 
the  College  the  Manor  of  Rothyng  Margaret  (35)  in  the  county  of  EiTex, 
5th  Hen.  IV,  Dom.  1403,  for  the  maintenance  of  three  Fellows,  always  to 
abide  and  to  be  educated  in  the  faid  College.  In  the  ele(5lion  of  whom  the 
Society  is  not  bound  to  have  a  regard  only  to  Graduates,  (as  the  ftatutes 
command  them  in  the  eledlion  of  W.  of  Durham's  Fellows)  but  Undergra- 
duates, whom  they  know  to  be  of  honeft  and  virtuous  reputation,  and  fuch 
alfo  that  have  been  born  in  the  diocefe  of  York  or  Durham.  Befides  this 
he  gave  (36)  feveral  Manufcripts  for  the  common  ufe  of  the  Students,  ^7■z. 
the  three  volumes  of  Dodtor  de  Lyra,  and  the  three  volumes  called  '  Dic- 
tionarium,'  together  with  (as  I  conceive)  his  book  of  his  own  compofition, 
intituled  (37)  '  De  generatione  et  corruptione,*  as  alfo  many  other  books  of 
good  efteem  in  his  time.  He  died  the  ninth  of  the  cal.  of  April  1406,  and 
had  a  folemn  mafs  yearly  celebrated  in  this  College  Chapel  for  the  health  of 
his  foul,  by  a  deacon  and  fubdeacon  on  the  feventh  of  the  cal.  of  March.  It 
does  appear  by  a  certain  note  (38)  that  I  have  feen,  that  this  Walter  Skir-

to  the  Univerfity  ;  where,  being  received  by  Tome  good  fcholar,  arrived  to 
fuch  learning,  that  he  became  noted  for  it,  and  through  various  prefer- 
ments was  made  Bifhop  of  Lichfield  and  Coventry,  then  of  Wells,  and  at 
length  of  Durham.  At  which  lad  place  being  fettled,  he  fent  his  fteward 
to  enquire  at  Skirlaw,  whether  his  father  and  mother  (who  had  given  him 
over  for  a  loft  fon)  were  living-,  and  having  received  notice  that  they  were 
alive,  fent  for  them,  and  fupplied  their  wants.  Soon  after,  in  mem.ory  of 
his  being  born  at  Skirlaw,  he  built  a  fair  Chapel  at  Swine,  within  the  limits 
or  proceffion  of  Skirlaw,  where  in  every  window  he  fet  up  his  arms,  viz, 
Arg.  a  crofs  of  three  Spells  of  a  Sieve,  or  Riddle,  Sable,  in  memory  and  ac-  SHr/an 
knowledgment  from  whence  he  carre. 

Henry  Percy,  Earl  of  Northumberland,  and  lord  of  the  honour  of  Cock- 
ermouth  did,  at  the  requeft  (39)  of  the  Univerfity,  (after  this  College  had 
fuffcred  fo  great  impoverifhment  that  the  chief  revenues  of  the  Mafterfliip 
and  Society,  while  Dr.  Burton  was  Mafter,  were  (40)  allotted  by  the  Chan- 
cellor of  the  Univerfity  to  pay  its  debts,  and  repair  the  houfes  belonging 
thereunto)  give  (41)  them  three  acres  of  Jand  in,  and  the  advowfon  of  the 
Reflory  of,  Arncliffe  in  Craven  in  the  county  of  York,  21  Hen.  VI,  Dom. 
1442  •,  to  the  end  that  they  the  faid  Fellows  fnould  always  have  in,  and 
choofe  into  their  College  three  Bachelors,  or  Mafters  of  Art,  of  the  Diocefe 
of  Durham,  CarliQe,  and  York,  to  make  proficiency  in  divinity  among  ' 
them,  and  be  accounted  as  Fellows,  and  enjoy  all  privileges  as  they  do. 
About  the  fame  time  the  College  entertained  thoughts  of  having  the  faid 
Redory  appropriated,  that  thereby  the  gift  might  be  improved,  and  the  faid 
College,  and  its  ruinated  houfes,  might  be  enriched  and  repaired.  The  faid 
thoughts  of  theirs  being  imparted  to  the  Univerfity,  and  approved,  the 
members  thereof  wrote  two  epiftles  the  fame  year,  that  is  to  fay,  one  to  the 
Archbifhop,  (Joh.  Kempe  (42)  )  and  another  to  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of 
York,  (43)  that  they  would  give  leave  for  its  appropriation.  Which  being 
by  them  granted,  was  the  fame  year  brought  to  pafs  according  to  their  de- 
fires,  and  a  referve  of  twenty  marks  per  an.  iffuing  thence  to  be  paid  to  the 
Vicar  that  fhould  ferve  there.  This  great  Earl  died  in,  or  juft  after,  the 
battle  at  St.  Alban's,  on  the  eleventh  of  the  cal.  of  June  1455,  (44)  and 
had  afterwards  a  mafs  called  Salus  populi  celebrated  yearly  in  the  chapel  by 
the  Fellows  and  Scholars,  for  the  health  of  him,  his  Countefs,  and  for  his 
children,  on  the  Feaft  of  Corpus  Chrifti,  (as  alfo  for  Maude  (45)  the  wife  of  his 
fon  Henry)  as  the  obligation  of  the  College  (45)  to  perform  the  faid  fervice, 
dated  28  Nov.  13  Edw.  IV,  doth  in  fome  part  fhew.  There  was  alfo  a  mafs

College  received  about  the  fame  time  by  the  (46)  gift  of  Henry  Beau- 
FORT,  Billiop  of  Winchefter,  (as  appears  under  the  College  feal)  it  recruited 
fo  much,  that  within  few  years  following,  the  Society  adorned  their  manfion 
with  a  new  Refcflory,  and  other  edifices  adjoining. 

Joan  Daws,  wife  of  Roger  Hewet,  a  Citizen  of  Oxford,  gave  (47)  cer- 
tain tenements,  lands,  meads,  and  paftures,  Iituate  and  being  in  the  parifhes 
of  St.  Martin  and  St.  Thomas  in  Oxford  ;  conditionally,  that  the  College 
would  pay  yearly  for  ever,  out  of  the  revenues  iffuing  from  them,  forty 
fliillinr/s  a-piece  to  two  Logick  Ledlurers,  or  to  one  of  Logick  and  another 
of  PhiTofophy.  Alfo  5/  lOi  towards  the  increafe  of  the  diet  of  the  Mafter 
and  Fellows,  and  lOJ  to  be  laid  out  for  a  refection  on  the  obital  days 
of  the  faid  Roger  and  Joan.  Two  Shillings  and  four-pence  alio  to  be  given 
yearly  to  the  prifoners  in  the  Cadle  on  the  feaft  of  the  Nativity  and  Paflb- 
ver,  and  to  the  prifoners  in  Bocardo  one  fhilling  at  the  fame  feads.  The 
faid  Joan  had,  before  her  marriage  with  Hewet,  been  a  widow,  and  was 
born  at  Burgh  under  Staynfmore  in  the  county  of  Weftmoreland,  and  in  her 
lall  years  fettled  this  gift,  2  Jan.  9  Eliz.  Dom.  1566. 

Francis  Russel,  Earl  of  Bedford,  gave  twenty  pounds  per  an.  to  be 
bellowed  on  two  poor  Students  in  Divinity,  to  be  called  the  '  Earl  of  Bed- 
ford's Scholars,'  and  to  be  named,  and  appointed  by  his  heirs  for  ever,  &c. 
by  will  dated  7  Apr.  26  Eliz.  Dom.  1584. 

Robert  Dudley,  Earl  of  Lycefter,  gave  lands  in  Montgomeryfliire  for 
the  maintenance  of  two  Scholars,  each  to  have  20/ a-piece  yearly,  to  be  in 
the  nomination  of  the  Lady  Lettice  (his  wife  as  'tis  faid)  during  her  life, 
and  afterwards  by  her  heirs  for  ever,  &c.  1 5S7. 

Otho  Hunt,  fometimc  Fellow,  afterward  parfon  of  Metheley  in  York- 
iliire,  gave  all  his  free  and  copyhold  lands  in  the  faid  town  for  the  finding  of 
one  Scholar,  to  be  chofen  from  Swinton  in  the  parifli  of  Wath,  or  from  any 
places  in  the  faid  Parifli,  or  in  the  parifhes  of  Metheley  or  Kirkburcon,  or 
in  any  place  within  the  county  of  York ,  or,  in  default  of  all  thefc,  then 
from  the  next  places  adjoining  to  the  faid  county,  &c.  an.  1590. 

John  Freyston,  of  Altofts  in  the  faid  County,  Efq.  gave  lands  in  Pon- 
tefrafl  for  the  maintenance  of  one  Fellow  or  Exhibitioner,  to  receive  10/. 
per  an.  with  his  chamber  and  decrements  free,  and  for  two  Scholars  alfo, 
who  fliould  receive  5/.  a-piece  annually  with  the  like  emoluments,  condi- 
tionally they  be  all  Yorkfliire  men,  $cc.  1592.  Befides  which  he  gave  mo- 
ney to  buy  an  houfe  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  College,  to  be  employed  as 
chambers  for  Scholars,  as  alfo  money  for  the  reparation  of  it.  But  the  faid 
houfe  was  pulled  down  about  the  year  1633,  and  on  part  of  its  fite,  and 
back  part  belonging  thereunto,  was  built  fome  of  the  fore-front,  and  the 
weft  part  of  the  quadrangle  now  ftanding.  The  other  part  was  left  for  a 
paflage  to  convey  carts  and  drays  behind  the  College.     This  John  Freyfton

alfo  founded  a  free  fchool  at  Normanton  in  Yorkdiire,  and  gave  icl.  yearly 
for  ever,  for  the  teaching  of  thirty  poor  children  of  the  parifhes  of  Norman- 
ton, Snithall,  and  two  or  three  more  adjoining,  &c.  fettled  about  1592. 

John  Browne,  B.  D.  and  Vicar  of  Bafingftoke  in  Hampfhire,  fometime 
Fellow  of  Balliol,  but  afterward  Fellow  of  this  College,  gave  an  Exhibition 
an.  1607. 

Robert  Gunslev,  fometime  a  Student  in  this  Houfe,  and  after- 
ward Re6tor  of  Tittefley  in  Surry,  gave  the  impropriation  of  Flamfted  in 
Hertfordfhire,  out  of  which  was,  and  is  to  be  always,  paid  threefcore  pounds 
yearly  to  a  Curate,  and  as  much  to  four  Scholars,  to  be  chofen  into  this 
Houfe  from  his  name  or  kindred,  and  in  defett  of  fuch,  from  the  fchools 
of  Rochefter  and  Maidftone,  &c.  1618. 

The  fame  year  Mr.  Charles  Greenwood,  fometime  Fellow,  afterward 
Reftor  of  Thornhill  in  Yorklhire,  gave  by  his  will  lool.  per  an.  (to  be  pur- 
chafed  with  monies  raifed  from,  his  eftate,  valued  then  to  be  worth  400I. 
yearly)  for  the  maintenance  and  finding  of  certain  Fellows  and   Scholars  5 

but  a  certain  perfon  called Foxcroft,  one  of  his  executors,  (from  whofe 

blood,  as  I  have  been  informed,  the  faid  Fellows  and  Scholars  were  in  the 
firft  place  to  be  chofen,  if  any  fuch,  but  if  not,  then  from  others,  as  in  his 
will  he  had  appointed)  hath  a6ted  fuch  foul  play  in  the  matter,  that  liitle  or 
nothing,  after  divers  fuits  of  law,  hath  been  obtained  of  it.  All  that  the 
College  hath  yet  been  improved  by  Mr.  Greenwood's  benevolence,  is  fifteen 
hundred  pounds,  which  by  his  appointment  was  to  be  paid  towards  the 
raifing  of  the  College  new  buildings.  However,  though  his  will  hath  not 
been  performed,  yet  by  his  example,  one  that  was  fometime  his  pupil 
in  this  College,  hath  become  the  greatefl  benefactor  fmce  the  foundation  of 
Mr.  W.  of  Durham.    His  name  is 

Sir  Simon  Bennet,  Baronet,  who,  in  an.  1631,  bequeathed  lands  in  the 
county  of  Northampton,  for  the  maintenance  of  eight  Fellows  and  eight 
Scholars,  to  be  refpedively  admitted  into  all  privileges,  profits,  and  prefer- 
ments, which  any  Fellow  or  Scholar  of  this  Houfe  ought  to  enjoy.  But 
thofe  lands  alfo  falling  fhorter  than  was  expedled,  are  therewith  now  main-  > 
tained  but  four  Fellows,  and  four  Scholars.  So  that  at  this  time  there  are 
in  the  College  twelve  Fellows,  that  is  to  fay,  two  of  W.  of  Durham,  (the 
other  two  make  the  Mafter,  as  it  was  feveral  ages  fince  fo  ordered)  three  of 
Walter  Skirlaw,  three  of  Henry  Percy  Earl  of  Northumberland,  and  four 
of  Sir  Simon  Bennet,  befides  the  Scholars  beforementioned,  which  are  in 
number  ten,  or  more. 

As  for  thofe  benefadors  of  lefler  note,  who  have  beftowed  their  gifts  for 
the  moft  part  before  the  alteration  of  Religion,  I  find  many  •,  but  their  libe- 
rality was  to  no  other  end  than  to  have  their  obits  or  anniverfaries  obferved. 
Of  thefe  have  been 

Mr.  Adam  Radford,  or  Radyfurth,  and  Mr.  John  Caldwell,  both 
(I  am  fure  the  former)  Fellows  in  the  reign  of  Hen.  IV,  which  Mr.  Adam 
gave  (48)  feveral  revenues  in  Oxford,  and  the  fuburbs  thereof.

S6         UNIVERSITY      COLLEGE. 


B     U     I     L     D   .1     N     G     S. 

THE  original  of  this  College  was,  as  I  have  told  you,  no  more,  than  a 
tenement,  or  an  ordinary  Hall  for  the  reception  of  Clerks,  which  continii- 
ing  no  other  for  fome  years,  was  added  unto  it  Whyte  Hall,  fituate  and 
being  on  the  fouth  fide  of  it,  and  whofe  front  abutted  on  Kybaldltreet ;  and 
this  the  Society  thought  at  that  time  convenient,  becaufe  it  (hould  be  a  place 
for  the  reception  of  their  commoners  or  fupernumerary  (tudents.  At  length 
other  tenements  near  to  their  faid  Hall  (which  from  the  name  of  Selverne 
came  to  be  called  the  Hall  of  the  fcholars  of  Mr.  Will,  of  Durham,  and  after- 
ward Great  Univerfity  Hall)  being  by  the  faid  Society  purchafed,  and  particu-- 
larly  that  belonging  to  Stodeley  Nunnery  in  this  county,  which  laid  on  the 
welt  fide  thereof,  they  began,  in  hopes  of  benefadors,  to  pull  down  their 
building*;,  which  flood  without  any  mjethod,  and  to  reduce  them,  about 
the  beginning  of  Hen.  VI.  into  a  quadrangular  pile.  The  names  of  thofe 
that  contributed  to  its  erection  were  divers,  efpecially  fuch  that  had  been 
Students  of  this  Hall,  as  many  arms  and  rebufies  formerly  in  the  windows 
thereof  did  (hew.  The  faid  fabrick  built  of  free  flone,  though  it  vv^as  low 
according  to  the  mode  of  thofe  times,  yet  it  was  not  uniform  in  its  windows  ; 
which  fhews  that  the  quadrangle  was  not  built  all  at  one  time,  but  at  fevera), 
as  they  could  procure  benefadors.  The  chiefeft  were  Henry  Percy,  Karl 
of  JNoRTHUMBERLAND,  JoHN  Chadworth, Bifhop of  Lyncoln,  and  fome 
of  the  noble  family  of  the  Hungerfords,  v/ith  others.  Which  building 
was  afterward,  with  the  help  alio  of  fome  charitable  perfons,  adorned  with  a 
Tower  over  ihe  public  gate  thereof  by  Mr.  Ralph  Hamsterley,  about 
the  beginning  of  K.  Hen.  VIII,  and  afrerward.  repaired  by  Mr.  Key  one  of 
his  fucccflbrs  in  the  Mafterlhip. 

But  the  forefront  and  moft  part  of  the  weft  fide  of  the  quadrangle,  which 
were  the  ancienteft  buildings  in  the  College,  being  fallen  into  decay,  (and  the 
pitching  or  pavement  of  the  Highftreet  raifed  by  often  reparations  much 
higher  than  that  of  the  College,  for  thereunto  the  paffenger  went  down  fe- 
veral  fteps)  thoughts  were  had  of  beginning  another  quadrangular  pile. 
Wherefore  upon  the  receipt  of  the  moneys  of  Mr.  Charles  Greenwood, 
betorementioned,  the  Society  began  the  weft  fide,  now  ftanding,  14  Apr. 
1634,  not  on  the  ruins  of  the  old  weft  part,  but  on  the  weft  fide  thereof  at 
fome  diftance.  Which  being  finiftit  about  two  years  after,  the  forefront 
next  to  the  faid  ftreet  was  pulled  down  alfo,  and  this  now  ftanding  was  erected 
with  the  monies  chiefly  of  Sir  Simon  Bennet  in  the  year  1638.  The  ealt  fide 
of  the  College,  wherein  was  the  old  Refedory,  and  fome  chambers  adjoining, 
was  partly  pulled  down  1 669,  and  the  reft  five  years  after  j  which  being  fo 
done  this  new  eaft  fide  was  built  anfwerable  to  the  reft  of  the  College  an.

finifhing  of  the  new  Hall  and  Chapel,  and  for  the  making  of  a  new  kitchen, 
with  a  Library  over  it,  veiy  many  benefactors  beflowed  various  fums  of 
money ;  the  chiefeft  of  which  (not  that  1  fhall  name  all,  for  a  page  will 
hardly  contain  them)  were.  Sir  Orlando  Bridgman,  (afterward  Lord 
Keeper  of  the  great  Seal)  who  in  the  year  1657  gave  fifty  pounds  ;  Dr.  G. 
Sheldon,  Archbifhop  of  Canterbury,  50/;  Mrs.  Katherine  Read, 
daughter  of  Giles  Read  of  Mitton  in  Worceflerfhire,  bequeathed  about  the 
year  1663,  200/;  Leonard  Bilson,  of  Mapledurham  in  Hampfhire,  Efq. 
ibmetime  a  Commoner  of  this  houfe,  fon  of  Sir  Tho.  Bilfon  of  the  faid

In  moft  of  the  chamber  windows  of  the  little  old  quadrangle,  which  was 
pulled  down  to  make  room  for  this  that  is  fo  uniform,  were  divers  infcriptions, 
arms,  and  rebufes,  put  up  in  memory  of  the  benefa6lors  thereunto,  but  moft  of 
them  having  been  long  before  my  time  quite  broken  or  taken  away,  I  could 
never  (though  much  I  have  endeavoured)  retrieve  more  than  what  follows. 

In  a  chamber,  fometime  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  faid  quadrangle,  in  a  win- 
dow therein,  looking  towards  the  v.'eft,  were  the  pidures  of  K.  Alfred  kneel- 
ing, and  St.  Cuthbert  fitting  ■,  the  former  with  a  crown  on  his  head,  the  other 
with  a  mitre,  and  the  King  thus  befpeaking  the  Saint  in  a  Pentameter,  hold- 
ing the  pifture  of  the  College  in  his  hand  ;

Dr.  Clayton,  fometime  Mafter  of  this  Houfe,  hath  told  me,  that  the  faid 
pictures  and  infcriptions  were  reprefented  in  the  windows  of  the  little  old 
Library,  but  fuch  in  my  time  I  could  never  fee.  Others  have  told  me, 
which  is  moft  true,  that  they  were  in  a  chamber  in  the  fouth  eaft  corner  of 
the  quadrangle,  but  the  reprefentations  of  the  figures  were  not  altogether  like 
the  former. 

In  another  chamber,  at  the  eaft  end  of  the  old  Chapel,  was  in  the  window 
there,  the  picture  of  St.  John  of  Beverley,  in  his  Archiepilcopal  robes  with 
this  infcription  under  him  ;

In  the  Windows  alfo  of  the  Chamber  of  Mr.  Phil.  Wafhington  were  fe- 
veral  Arms  and  Rebufes,  but  what  I  could  neve^  learn  •,  only  that  the  cham-

St.  Alban,  Protomartyr  of  England,  very  ancient  work,  and  good  piflures.

On  the  old  common  Gate,  leading  from  the  ftreet  into  the  College,  were 
thefe  Arms  :

old  Quadrangle,  was  built  about  the  year  1450,  (72)  partly  at  the  College 
charge,  and  partly  by  the  benevolence  of  well-difpofed  people.  In  the  win- 
dows of  which  hall,  plucked  moftly  down,  an.  1669,  (and  the  reft  in  1675) 
have  been  thefe  infcriptions  and  arms  following. 

In  one  of  the  weft  windows  is  this,  fpoken  (as  I  conceive)  of  Bifhop 
Chadworth,  or  Ralph  Hamfterley  :

In  another  light  of  the  fame  window,  under  the  picture  of  a  Bifliop  (Sr,

But  this  old  Hall  being  ufed  by  the  Society  till  about  the  time  of  the 
reftoration  of  K.  Charles  II,  was  then  deferted,  becaufe  the  new  Hall  now 
ftanding  on  the  fouth  fide  of  the  quadrangle,  (began  to  be  built  an.  1640, 
but  intermitted  for  the  fpace  of  17  years,  by  reafon  of  the  civil  diftradions 
of  the  nation)  was  mLich  about  that  time  finifhed  by  the  benefadions  of 
well  difpofed  perfons,  of  whom  feme  I  have  before  mentioned. 


Library.  At  firft  the  Society  kept  thofe  books  they  had  (which  were 
"but  few)  in  chefts,  and  once,  fometimes  twice  in  a  year,  made  choice  for 
the  borrowing  of  fuch  as  they  liked,  by  giving  a  certificate  under  their  hands 
for  the  reftoring  of  them  again  to  their  proper  place.  At  length  when  their 
firft  quadrangle  was  built,  they  appointed  a  place  of  ftowage  for  them  in 
an  upper  room  at  the  weft  end  of  their  Chapel,  and  what  they  procured 
afterwards,  whether  MSS  or  printed  books,  they  added  to  the  former.  The 
benefadlors  to  it  having  been  of  no  great  account  I  fiiall  pafs  them  by,  and 
only  tell  you  that  Dr.  George  Abbot,  fometime  Mafter  of  this  College, 
did,  about  the  year  1632,  give  an  hundred  pounds  for  the  ufe  of  this  place; 
with  which  divers  books  were  bought,  others  repaired,  and  the  Library  itfelf 
adorned.     In  one  of  the  fouth  windows  was  fometime  this  infcription  :

But  this  Library  being  plucked  down  at  what  time  the  old  Chapel  ad- 
joining was  demolilhed,  the  books  were  for  a  time  tranflated  to  another 
place.  At  length  the  new  Library  over  the  Kitchen,  on  the  fouth  fide,  and 
beyond  the  quadrangle,  being  finifhed,  an.  1669,  by  the  benefaftion  of 
feveral  perfons,  of  whom  fome  1  have  named  before,  the  faid  books  were 
put  there,  and  had  then,  and  foon  after,  many  added  to  them  by  the  gift 
of  feveral  Students  of  this  College. 

Chapel.  The  places  wherein  the  Society  have  celebrated  fervice  have 
been  divers.  The  firft  was  in  the  Church  of  St.  Mary,  or  St.  Peter  in  the 
eaft  J  in  the  former  of  which  parifhes  Sclv/ern  Hali  was  (ituated.  The  fe- 
cond  was  within  an  Oratory  or  Chapel  fituated  within  their  own  houfe  •,  in 
which,  after  it  was  erefted,  (whether  in  a  lower  or  upper  ftory  it  appeareth 
not)  the  Society  obtained  licenfe  (76)  of  the  Diocefan,  about  the  year  1369, 
to  perform  fervice,  and  had  afterward,  1390,  an  altar  confecratcd  therein(77). 
The  third  was  in  the  Chapel  fometime  itanding  on  the  fouth  fide  of  the  old 
quadrangle  -,  which  being  by  the  College,  and  feveral  benefadors,  finifhed, 
was  conlecrated  to  the  memory  of  St,  Cuthbert  on  the  fecond  of  the  calends 
of  April,  1476,  which  was  the  16th  of  Edw.  IV.  (78)  But  the  faid  Chapel 
being  too  fmall  for  the  number  of  Students  in  this  Houfe,  a  lower  chamber 
joining  to  the  weft  end  thereof,  and  under  the  Library,  was  added  to  it  to 
make  the  outer  Chapel  larger. 

In  the  middle,  on  a  fmall  marble  flone,  was  the  efRgies  of  a  man  in  a 
gown  with  this  infcription  under  him,  engraven  on  a  plate  of  brafs  :

[     70     ] 


IIL      BALLIOL      COLLEGE. 

HAVING  delivered  what  I  have  to  fay  of  Univerfity  College,  I  fhall 
proceed  to  the  next  according  to  antiquity,  and  that  is  Balliol,  fituated 
in  the  North  Suburbs,  on  the  north  fide  of  a  ftreet  fometime  called  Horfe- 
manger  ftreet,  but  now  Canditch.  Of  the  Foundation  and  Hiftory  of  which 
there  being  a  ( i )  Book  extant,  I  fhall  now  fay  the  lefs  of  it,  notwithftand- 
ing  I  had  compofed  a  larger  difcourfe  feveral  years  before  the  faid  Book  was 
publifhed. 

Concerning  the  time  therefore  when  this  Houfe  or  Society  had  its  origin, 
divers  authors  differ.  Some  fay  it  was  in  1262,  others  1263,  65,  73,  &c. 
but  all,  whofoever  they  are,  have  been  very  much  miflaken :  for  what  was 
done  in  order  to  it  by  Sir  John  Balliol,  Kt.  (2)  while  he  was  living,  was  an. 
1268,  or  1267  at  leaft,  and  then  no  more  but  to  exhibit  to  certain  poor 
Scholars  of  Oxford  till  fuch  time  he  could  conveniently  procure  an  habita- 
tion for,  and  fettle  lands  on,  the  Scholars  thereof.  But  he  dying  in  the  bc- 
ginng  of  the  year  following,  viz.  a  few  days  before  Pentecofl,  an.  1269,  left 
his  defign  altogether  unfettled,  yet  with  an  ardent  defire  on  his  death-bed 
made  to  his  Lady  and  executors,  that  they  would  continue  that  charity  to 
thofe  his  Eleemofynaries,  as  he  had  begun,  and  not  let  it  fall  to  nothing. 
After  his  death  a  demur  was  made  among  them  whether  to  continue  it  or 
not,  becaufe  the  prefent  fuftenance  was  to  be  received  from  his  perfonal 
eftate,  which  was  chiefly  in  other  mens  hands,  and  the  ufe  thereof  fcru- 
pled.  In  the  mean  time,  while  thefe  matters  were  debating,  Richard  Slick- 
bury  (3),  a  Minorite  Fryer,  ConfefTor  to  the  Lady  Dervorgille  (4),  the 
widow  of  the  faid  Sir  John  Balliol,  (father  to  John  Balliol  King  of  the 
Scots)  was  not  wanting  to  perfuade  (5)  her  with  all  godly  motives  to  under- 
take to  perform  the  bufmefs  herfelf,  fettle  it,  and  not  in  the  Icaft  to  fuffer 
her  hufband's  Charity  to  come  to  nothing.  "Which  perfuafions  were  backed 
by  another  Minorite  Fryer,  ConfefTor  to  the  Counrefs  of  Pembroke,  who 
out  of  a  real  zeal  to  the  public,  did  (6)  exhort  the  faidCountefs  to  build  and 
endow  Pembroke  Hall  in  Cambridge,  and  another  in  the  Univerfity  of 
Paris  for  poor  Clerks.

Upon  which  perfuafions  then,  that  noble  and  virtuous  Lady  Dervorgille 
proceeded  firft  to  hire  them  a  houfe  in  Horfemanger  ftreec  (7),  in  St.  Mary 
Magdalen's  Parifh,  belonging  to  the  Chancellor  and  Scholars  of  the  Uni- 
verfity  of  Oxford,  that  Ihe  might  fettle  them  therein,  and  with  the  help 
of  the  Executors  continue  to  them  their  fuftenance  with  the  perfonal  eftate 
of  the  faid  Sir  John,  which  he  left  at  his  death,  till  fuch  time  that  the  lands 
that  had  been  defigned  for  them  could  be  fettled  on  their  Houfe.  In  the 
next  place  (after  they  had  fpent  certain  years  there)  fhe  gave  them  (8)  Sta- 
tutes under  her  feal,  whereby  they  were  to  be  governed,  and  each  to  know 
his  duty,  as  thofe  Statutes  fhould  prefcribe.  In  them,  among  feveral  matters, 
I  obferve,  Firft,  That  fhe  directed  them  to  Hugh  de  HertipoU,  and  Mr. 
"William  de  Menyll,  one  a  Minorite  Fryer,  the  other  a  Scholar  of  Oxford, 
which  fhe  had  appointed  before  to  be  her  Procurators  for  the  government 
of  the  Scholars.  Second,  That  flie  bound  her.  Scholars  to  be  prefent  at  di- 
vine Offices  on  Lord's  days  and  principal  Feftivals,  and  alfo  to  fermons  on 
thofe  days,  unlefs  urgent  occafions  diverted  them.  And  as  for  other  days, 
that  they  frequent  the  Schools,  and  follow  their  Studies  according  to  the 
Statutes  of  the  Univerfity.  Third,  that  the  Scholars  obey  her  Procurators 
in  all  things  which  fhe  had  granted  and  appointed  for  them  for  their  go- 
vernment and  profit.  Fourth,  That  the  fcholars  from  among  themfelves 
choofe  a  Principal,  to  whom  and  by  whom  all  Ihould  do  obeifance,  and  be 
ruled,  chiefly  in  thofe  things  that  are  according  to  ftatutes  and  cufloms 
approved  and  ufed  among  them.  And  that  the  faid  Principal  after  he  is 
lawfully  eleded,  be  prefented  to  the  Procurators,  to  be  approved  and  con- 
firmed by  them,  till  which  time  he  fhould  not  exercife  any  authority.  Fifth, 
That  the  Sch'olars  procure  three  MafTes  to  be  folemnly  celebrated  every  year 
for  the  foul  of  her  hufband  Sir  John  Balliol  (9),  for  the  fouls  of  her  Prede- 
ceflbrs,  and  all  faithful,  deceafed  at  feveral  times,  according  to  the  difpofi- 
tion  of  her  Procurators,  &c.  Sixth,  That  every  day,  before  and  after  dinner 
and  fupper,  they  fay  a  benedidion,  and  pray  efpecially  for  the  foul  of  her 
hufband,  and  for  her  Procurators  according  to  a  form  fometime  before  ufed 
by  them.  Seventh,  That  the  maintenance  of  the  poor  be  provided,  (for 
whofe  profit  Ihe  endeavoured  to  labour)  flie  willed  that  the  richer  fort  among 
the  Scholars  ftrive  to  live  fo  temperately,  that  the  faid  poor  be  not  grieved 
by  burdenfome  expences.  And  if  it  fhould  chance  that  the  whole  fociety  of 
the  Scholars  do  exceed  in  common  expences  in  any  feven-night  the  portion 
by  her  allotted,  then  her  will  was,  that  for  the  payment  of  thofe  expences, 
nothing  at  all  fhould  be  received  beyond  a  penny  in  a  feven-night  from 
them,  who  according  to  thedifcretion  of  her  Procurators,  are  judged  unable 
and  infufficient  to  make  payment,  &c.  Eighth,  That  if  it  fhould  happen 
that  one  or  more  of  her  Scholars  fhould  murmur  againfl  the  faid  order,  or

make  any  fign  of  difpleafure  againfl  it,  then  fhe  willed  that  the  Scholars  by 
the  oath  that  they  had  performed,  do  reveal  the  names  of  them  to  her  Pro- 
curators, who,  upon  fufficient  proof  of  their  murmuring,  fhall  be  removed 
immediately  without  any  hopes  of  returning.  Ninth,  That  the  Scholars  fpeak 
Latin  in  common,  and  whofoever  adls  any  thing  againfl  it,  fhall  be  rebuked 
by  the  Principal,  and  if  he  or  they  mend  not  after  twice  or  thrice  admoni- 
tion,  fliall  be  removed  from  the  common  table,  and  eat  by  themfelves,  and 
be  ferved  lafl.  And  if  they  remain  incorrigible  for  a  week's  fpace,  they  fhali 
be  ejeded  by  the  Procurators.  Tenth,"  That  every  other  week  there  fhall  be 
a  fophifm  difputed  and  determined  in  the  Houfe  among  the  Scholars  by 
turns,  fo  that  they  both  oppofe  and  anfwer ;  and  if  any  fophifter  profiteth 
fo  much  that  may  defcrve  in  a  fhort  time  to  determine  in  the  Schools,  then 
fliall  the  Principal  tell  him,  that  he  fhall  firfl  determine  at  home  among  his 
Fellows.  At  the  end  of  every  difputation  the  Principal  fhall  appoint  the 
next  day  of  difputing,  and  fhall  moderate  and  corre6l  the  loquacious,  and 
fhall  appoint  the  fophifm  that  is  next  to  be  handled,  and  alfo  the  opponent, 
refpondent,  and  determiner,  that  fo  they  may  the  better  provide  themfelves 
for  a  difputation.  In  the  like  manner  alfo  fhall  he  aft  every  other  week  con- 
cerning the  queftion.  nth,  That  the  Scholars  faithfully  keep  the  porta- 
rium,  (or  corporeis  cafe,  wherein  the  Body  of  Chrift,  or  the  hofV,  is  kept) 
which  fhe  gave  them  for  the  health  of  her  hufband's  foul,  and  not  fuiFer  it 
to  be  any  ways  pawned  or  alienated.  12th,  That  they  have  a  poor  Scholar 
afljgned  to  them  by  the  Procurators,  to  whom  the  faid  Scholars  fhall  be 
bound  to  give  every  day  the  leavings  or  broken  meat  of  their  table,  unlefs 
the  Procurators  think  it  fit  to  be  omitted. 

Thus  far  the  faid  Statutes,  dated  at  Botel  (10)  in  the  06laves  of  the  Af* 
fumption  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  an.  1282,  10  Ed.  I.  On  her  feal,  which  is

As  for  the  faid  Statutes  tbey  were  for  divers  years  kept  inviolable,  yet 
not  fo  much  but  that  divers  of  the  faid  Scholars,  about  forty  years  after, 
having  railed  fome  doubts  from  them,  would  not  content  themfelves  to 
ftudy  the  liberal  arts,  only  fuch  that  were  performed  in  the  fchools  of  Arts 
by  Artifts  according  to  the  apteftfenie  of  the  ftatutes,  butalfo  would  afcend 
to  higher  faculties,  though  prohibited  fo  to  do  by  the  then  extrinfic  Ma- 
flers  or  Procurators,  named  Rob.  de  Leyceftre,  D.  of  D.  a  minorite,  and 
Nicholas  de  Tingewyke,  D.  of  Phyfick,  and  Bach,  of  Divinity.  At  length, 
this  matter  being  controverted  (14)  among  them  aconfiderable  time,  was  in 
the  year  1325  referred  with  the  Procurators  confent  to  two  Dodors,  (15) 
and  two  Mafters  (16)  that  were  formerly  Fellows  of  this  Houfe,  (of  which 
MafterS,  Richard  the  fon  of  Ralph,  (tiled  afterward  Ricardus  Armachanus, 
was  one)  who  then,  after  both  parties  were  heard,  (17)  decided  the  matter 
in  the  common  Hall  thus,  "  That  no  fellow  of  this  houfe,  whether  Mafter 
or  Scholar,  hear  any  faculty,  or  give  his  mind  to  it,  either  in  full  term  or 
vacation,  befides  the  liberal  arts  that  by  artifts  are  read  and  pradlifed  in  the 
Schools  of  Arts,  &c." 

Two  years  after  the  faid  Statutes  were  given  by  the  Lady  Dervorgille, 
that  is  to  fay,  in  the  year  1284,  (he  then  purchafed  a  (18)  tenement  of 
John  de  Ew,  a  Burgher  of  Oxford,  then  and  before  called  Mary's  Hall, 
ftanding  between  the  land  fometime  of  JefFry  le  Saucer,  on  the  weft,  (whick 
joined  on  the  eaft  part  to  the  tenement  of  the  Univerfity  aforefaid)  and  the 
land  of  Walter  Feteplace  on  the  eaft.  Which  being  confirmed  (19)  at  the 
fame  time  by  Thomas  de  Ewe,  fon  of  the  faid  John,  did  (after  (20)  licence 
was  olptained  from  the  King)  (21)  give  the  fame  year,  in  the  month  of  May, 
the  faid  tenement  with  three  acres  of  land  on  the  eaft  and  north  fides  of  it 
to  Waler  de  Foderyngey  the  Frrncipal,  and  Scholars  of  the  Houfe  of 
Balliol,  to  fettle  themfelves  therein  as  a  perpetual  manfion  for  them  and 
their  fucceflbrs.  Which  tenement  the  Lady  Dervorgille  afterwards  repairing, 
and  joining  to  it  necefl"ary  edifices,  the  faid  Principal  and  Scholars  removed 
from  the  tenement  belonging  to  the  Univerfity,  (which  from  their  abode 
therein  was  afterwards  called  Old  Balliol  Hall  (22))  to  that  which  flie  purchafed 
of  John  de  Ewe,  foon  after  called  New  Balliol  Hall.  So  that  nothing  now 
being  wanting  but  a  formal  Foundation  to  fettle  her  Scholars,  and  this  their 
Houfe  to  them  for  ever,  and  alfo  allot  them  lands  whereby  they  might  be

and  Simon  de  Gandavo,  Archdeacon  of  Oxford,  and  feveral  knights  and 
other  perfons,  give  (23)  it  with  lands  in  ScamforJham,  or  Stanworrhhann, 
and  Howgh  in  the  county  of  Norrhiimberland,  (purchafed  by  her  hufband's 
executors)  to  them  and  their  fuccefTors  for  ever  (24).  And  this  fhe  did,  as  in 
the  Charter  itfelf  is  faid,  to  the  honour  of  the  Holy  Trinity,  Virgin  Mary, 
and  St.  Catherine  the  martyr  (25);  and  that  alio  the  charity  which  her  hul- 
band  had  begun  in  Oxford  (''  ubi  viget  ftudium  generale,"  as  'tis  there  laid) 
might  be  fettled  and  continued. 

Furthermore  alfo  that  the  faid  foundation  might  (land  firm  againfl:  all  op- 
pofition,  it  was,  upon  the  Foundrcfs's  defire,  confirmed  (26)  the  faid  year  by 
the  faid  Oliver,  Bifhop  of  Lincoln,  and  by  her  fon  (27)  Sir  John  Balliol, 
afterwards  King  of  the  Scots,  and  three  years  after,  viz.  1287,  (all  which 
time  her  good  work  ceafed  not,  but  trod  on  her  heels  even  to  heaven  gates) 
did  with  her  hufband's  executors,  make  a  releafe  (28)  to  the  faid  Principal 
and  Scholars  of  all  debts  between  them  from  the  beginning  of  the  world  to 
that  time.  And  therefore,  feeing  that  all  thefe  things  are  fo  from  record  that 
lieth  not,  thereby  may  be  confuted  certain  Hiftorians  and  Antiquaries,  who 
have  either  reported  that  this  College  was  not  founded  by  Sir  John  Balliol 
and  Devorgille  his  wife,  but  by  Sir  John  their  fon,  nay,  Sir  Edward  their 
grandfon,  or  that  it  was  founded  in  the  year  1262,  or  1263,  or  65,  &c. 
When  from  thofe  matters  before  delivered,  it  appears  to  have  been  an.  1284 
or  1282  at  the  leaft. 

As  for  the  allowance  each  Scholar  had  (the  number  of  whom  were  fix- 
teen)  was  but  eightpence  a  wtek ;  that  is,  a  penny  every  week  day,  and 
two  pence  on  Sunday,  which,  as  a  certain  hiftorian  (29)  tells  us,  was  gi- 
ven to  and  allowed  them  by  Sir  John  Balliol,  who  died  1269  ;  but  whe- 
ther it  was  encreafed  after  the  Statutes  were  given,  and  when  lands  were 
fetled  on  them,  I  find  it  not  to  appear.  However,  if  they  had  no  more 
at  that  time,  which  by  computation  amounts  but  to  27/.  95.  4^.  yearly,  yet 
in  few  years  after,  they  found  benefadtors  to  encreafe  it,  as  it  fhall  be  forth- 
with fhewed  (30).

BENEFACTORS. 


BALLIOL      COLLEGE.  y^ 


BENEFACTORS. 

THE  firft  benefaftor  after  this  College  had  the  laft  hands  put  to  it  by 
the  Lady  Dervorgille,  was  one  Hugh  de  Wychenbroke,  commonly  called 
H^gh  de  Wyer,  who,  having  bought  a  (31)  foke  of  land  and  feveral  houfes 
ifl  the  parifh  of  St.  Laurence  in  the  Jewry  in  London,  with  the  advowfon 
^f  the  church  of  one  Henry  Facet  (which  Henry  had  them  by  the  gift  of 
Will.  Facet,  (Facetus)  and  he  by  (32)  purchafe  of  the  Abbat  and  convent 
of  Monftreul  or  Montreuil  in  Picardy,  (who  obtained  licenfe  of  the  King  to 
do  it)  gave  (^^)  them  to  this  Houfeor  College  22  Edw.  I,  with  all  appurte- 
nances belonging  to  them  •,  which  then  being  fettled,  was  the  year  following 
appropriated  (34)  to  the  College,  with  theconfent  of  the  Bilhop  of  London, 
Dean  and  Chapter  of  St.  Paul,  and  the  then  incumbent,  by  allowing  to  the 
Vicar,  according  to  a  (35)  compofition  then  made,  an  hundred  fhillings 
yearly,  which  was  to  arife  from  oblations,  and  the  lefler  tithes. 

Mr.  Hugh  de  Warkenby  and  Mr.  Will,  de  Gotham,  (36)  the  firft 
lately  Principal,  the  other  Fellow,  of  this  Houfe,  gave  {^y)  four  mefluages 
in  School-ftreet,  to  find  a  Chaplain  that  Ihould  fay  fervice  every  day  in  St. 
Catherine  chapel,  within  the  precin6bs  of  this  place,  according  to  the  form 
and  force  of  the  King's  Charter  of  Mortmain  granted  to  them,  &c. 
given  1310(38). 

By  their  example,  one  Mr.  Richard  de  Hunsingore  became  alfo  a 
benefador,  for  he  not  only  gave  (39)  them  a  tenement  in  Oxford,  but  lands 
alfo  in  the  county,  &c.  13  Edw.  il.  f4o)  After  him  followed  other  bene- 
fa(5lors,  who  in  the  faid  King's  reign  gave  feveral  melTuages  in  Oxon,  which 
being  then  Halls  or  Schools,  I  have  partly  already,  and  fhall  more  fully 
mention  them  elfewhere. 

Hitherto,  as  it  now  appears,  the  Scholars  of  this  Houfe  had  each  of  them 
but  eightpence  a  week  allowed  them,  and  that  no  longer  than  till  they  were 
Mailers  of  Art :  which  degree  being  taken  by  them,  they  were  fequeftered 
from  that  allowance,  and  had  no  gratuity  at  all  given  to  them  to  let  them 
forth  into  the  world.  So  that  divers  of  them  being  poor,  were,  if  deficient 
of  parts,  either  expofed  to  beggary,  or  forced  to  relinquifh  their  ftudies  and

feek  a  maintenance  by  mechanick  profeflions.  Which  great  inconvenience 
being  beheld  by  many  and  pitied,  it  pleafed  one  Sir  Will.  Felton,  Knt. 
in  the  14th  Edw.  Ill,  or  thereabouts,  to  (41)  give  to  the  College  the  Redlory 
of  Alboldefly,  with  the  manor  thereof,  in  the  connty  of  Huntingdon,  to 
augment  their  number,  and  encreafe  their  commons  to  twelvepence  a  week, 
and  fupply  them  with  books,  clothes,  and  other  neceffaries  -,  which  Redlory 
Pope  Clement  VI  did  not  only  appropriate  to  the  College,  (a  competency 
being  referved  for  the  fupport  of  a  Vicar  there)  but  confirmed  that  which 
Sir  William  Felton  had  begun,  viz.  that  the  Fellows  of  this  Houfe  might 
keep  their  places,  notwithftanding  they  were  Mafters  or  Do6bors,  till  they 
had  got  an  Ecclefiaftical  benefice.  As  for  the  encreafe  of  the  diet  and  num- 
ber the  next  benefa6lor  as  it  fsems  performed  it. 

About  the  lame  time  that  Sir  William  Felton's  gift  was  bellowed,  one 
Sir  Phixip  Somervyle,  Lord  of  the  manor  of  Wykenore  in  SrafFordfhire, 
became  a  confiderable  benefaflor  by  giving  (42)  the  church  of  Mikell  Ben- 
ton, with  lands  in  that  parilh,  in  tlie  Diocefe  of  Durham,  and  county  of 
Norhumberland,  for  the  maintenance  of  fix  Scholars,  above  the  ancient 
number  of  fixteen  Fellows  that  had  been  before  in  the  Houfe,  from  which 
Church  the  Society  were  to  pay  to  the  Prior  of  Durham  an  annual  penfion 
of  ten  fhillings,  and  becaufe  they  fhould  be  all  under  one  government,  and 
not  altogether  confined  to  Dervorgille's  ftatutes,  he  v>/as  pleafed  to  proceed 
fo  far  as  to  give  them  a  new  body  of  Statutes,  (43)  much  crofiing  thofeof  the 
faid  Lady  Dervorgille)  among  which  he  ordained,  firit,  That  his  fix  Scholars 
which  were  to  be  chofen  by  the  fixteen  Fellows,  were  to  be  natives  of  thofe 
places  nearefi:  to  the  fite  of  the  lands  by  him  given,  and  thofe  the  pooreft 
relating  to  abilities  of  purfe,  but  the  bed  and  greateft  proficients.  Second, 
That  they  fhould  choofe  a  Mafter  by  a  formal  eledion,  who  Ihould  govern 
all  in  the  Houfe,  whether  Fellows,  Chaplains,  Scholars,  or  Servant's,  and 
by  that  name  fhould  he  and  his  fucceflfors  be  always  written  and  called,  and 
that  alfo  immediately  after  eledlion  certain  of  the  Fellows  fhould  prefent 
him,  firft  to  the  Lords  of  the  Manor  of  Wykenore,  if  of  the  poflerity  of 
Sir  Philip  Somervyle :  fecondly,  at  his  return,  to  the  Chancellor  of  the  Uni- 
verfity,  or  his  CommifiTary :  thirdly  to  the  Guardian  or  Warden  of  Dur- 
ham College  in  Oxon,  and  laftly  to  the  extrinfick  Mafters  of  this  College  ; 
who  without  any  contradidlion  are  to  confirm  him  and  give  him  an  oath  to 
obferve  all  the  conftitutions  given  by  Sir  Philip  Somervyle.  Third,  That 
they  fhould  eled  out  of  their  whole  number  fix  for  the  fludy  of  Theology,

Fourth,  That  the  weekly  allowance  of  the  Fellows  and  his  Scholars  be  eleven- 
pence a  week,  and  if  vidtuals  were  dear  fifreenpence,  if  it  pleafed  the  Mafter 
and  Society.  And  among  divers  other  things  obfervable,  (which  1  fhall 
omit)  one  was,  that  they  were  to  have  a  perpetual  Chaplain  in  the  Houfe,  to 
be  prefented  by  Sir  Philip  and  his  heirs,  and  to  be  admitted  by  the  Mafters 
and  Fellows  without  contradidion,  (fo  that  he  was  fit  and  of  honeft  conver- 
fation)  to  receive  all  thofe  privileges  and  profits  which  any  of  the  aforefaid 
Scholars  enjoyed,  &c.  Which  ftatutes  being  given  by  him,  18  Odober  1340, 
were  firft  confirmed  by  Richard,  Bilhop  of  Durham,  fo  far  as  they  belonged 
to  his  cognifance,  and  afterwards  by  Edward  Balliol,  K.  of  the  Scots  (44). 

Two  years  after  the  gift  of  Sir  Philip  Somervyle,  one  Thomas  Cave, (45) 
of  Welwyk  in  the  county  of  York,  left  in  the  hands  of  William  Broklefby, 
Clerk,  an  hundred  pounds  to  buy  in  benefices  in  Lincolnfhire  -,  that  out  of 
the  profits  of  them  (in  cafe  they  might  be  transferred  to  this  Houfe)  the 
number  of  the  Scholars  might  be  encreafed.  Which  benefices,  named  Fy- 
lyngham,  Ryfome,  and  Brokleby  being  fold,  (46)  with  licenfe  of  the  owner 
of  them,  fcil.  the  Monaftery  of  the  Holy  Trinity  of  LelTay  (Exaquium  (47))

Scholars  aforefaid,  but  to  what  number  I  know  not,  having  not  as  yet  icta 
any  thing  that  fpeaketh  particularly  of  it  (48).  But  whatfoever  that,  or  the 
former  number  was,  fure  I  am  that  it  was  ordered  twenty  years  after,  that 
is  to  fay,  in  the  year  1364,  by  Simon,  then  Bifhop  of  London,  (deputed 
CommifTary  in  the  bufinefs  by  the  Apoftolical  fee)  that  the  number  of  Scho- 
lars fhould  be  no  more  than  could  well  be  maintained  according  to  the  re- 
venues of  the  Houfe,  as  in  the  new  body  of  the  ftatutes  given  by  the  faid 
Bifhop  (after  he  had  correded  the  firft  and  fecond,  namely  thofe  of  the 
Lady  Dervorgille  and  Sir  Philip  Somervyle)  appears.  Which  number  there- 
fore continuing  no  more  or  lefs  till  an.  1507,  the  Mafter  and  Scholars  then

Scholar,  and  the  Mailer  two,  and  every  of  them  to  be  approved  by  the 
M after  and  the  two  fenior  Fellows.  Their  bufinefs  alfo  was  to  ferve  the 
Mafter  and  Fellows,  by  whom  they  were  prefented,  provided  that  they  were 
not  fo  much  oppreffed  with  employment  as  to  hinder  their  ftudies.  Of  the 
faid  number  of  Fellows  alfo,  two  were  to  be  priefts,  though  but  Bachelors  of 
Arts,  whofe  peculiar  office  was  to  fay  daily  fervice  in  the  Chapel,  and  not 
to  be  as  conduditii,  but  perpetual.  Alfo  of  the  faid  number  were  to  be  two 
Deans,  and  two  Burfars,  whole  offices  were  to  be  annual,  and  the  whole 
number  to  encreafe  or  diminilh  according  to  the  augmentation  or  diminution 
of  the  revenues  of  the  College,  whofe  ebbings  and  flowings  have  formerly 
been  fuch,  as  gave  fufficient  grounds  for  that  provifo.  So  that  now  having 
brought  the  number  of  this  Houfe  that  had  maintenance  to  one  Mafter,  ten 
Fellows,  and  twelve  Scholars,  I  fhall  proceed  to  give  you  an  account  how  that 
number  fmce  hath  been  encreafed  by  the  munificence  of  Benefactors. 

But,  by  the  way,  I  muft  remember  a  certain  Benefador,  whole  memory 
it  altogether  loft  in  this  Houfe,  and  his  name  is  Thomas  Harrope,  (fome- 
times  written  Harrowe)  Redor  of  Hafely  in  this  County,  fometime  either 
Scholar  or  Fellow  of  this  College,  who  ordered  his  Feoffees  in  all  his  lands

1521,  proved  24  July,  1522  :  Wherein  he  ordered  his  body  to  be  buried  in 
the  chancel  of  Hafely  church  near  Oxon. 

But  to  proceed  :  the  next  Benefador,  after  the  faid  ftatutes  were  fettled 
and  confirmed,  (which  continue  in  force  to  this  day)  was 

Dr.  John  Bell,  fometime  Bifhop  of  Worcefter,  who  a  little  before  his 
death,  which  was  in  an.  1556,  gave  his  tenements,  lands  and  moveables, 
which  he  then  had  and  poffeffed  within  the  precinds  of  the  clofe,  church- 
yard, or  parifh  of  Clerkenwell  in  the  fuburbs  of  London,  for  a  ftipend  to  be 
given  to  two  Exhibitioners,  born  within  the  Diocefe  of  Worcefter.  The 
next  benefador  was 

William  Hammond  of  Guildford  in  Surrey,  Efq.  fometime  Mayor  of 
that  Corporation,  who  gave  lands  to  the  value  ot  100/.  per  an.  to  take 
place  after  his  deccafe.  Which  lands  were  upon  one  if  not  more  mortgages 
at  that  time,  of  which  the  chief  was  upon  the  lands  of  one  John  Apfley, 
Efq.  in  the  county  of  SufTex,  to  whom  Hammond  had  lent  i  lool.  But  all 
yet  that  appears  that  was  received  of  the  benefador's  gift  was  only  200/.

with  which  was  bought  that  tenement  at  firft  called  Hammond  Hall,  now 
Hammond's  Lodgings,  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  College.  (49) 

Peter  Blundell  of  Tiverton  in  the  county  of  Devon,  Clothier,  dying 
about  the  latter  end  of  Qiieen  Elizabeth,  gave  2000/.  for  the  founding  and 
eftablifhing  fix  Scholars  in  the  Univerfities  of  Oxford  aud  Cambridge,  to 
be  fupplied  from  the  Grammar  School  of  Tiverton  of  his  erefbion.  The 
third  part  of  which  fum  being  laid  out  to  purchafe  lands  in  the  county  of 
Oxford,  for  the  maintenance  of  one  Fellow  and  one  Scholar,  to  be  fucceflively 
chofen  thence  into  this  College,  (the  Fellows  of  which  had  befo.e  procured 
that  benefadion  to  be  fettled  on  them)  was  in  the  13th  year  of  King  James 
eftablifned  by  an  agreement  then  made  between  the  College  and  his  Feoffees. 

Mrs.  Mary  Dunch,  wife  of  William  Dunch,  of  Brightwell  in  Berkfhirc, 
gave  an  annuity  of  10/.  for  the  maintenance  of  one  Scholar,  &c.  1605. 

John  Browne,  Bach,  of  Div.  and  Vicar  of  Bafingftoke  in  Hampfliire, 
fometime  Fellow  of  this  Houfe,  but  afterward  Fellow  of  Univerfity  College, 
gave  2/.  i2s.  yearly  for  ever,  as  a  rentcharge  out  of  certain  lands  in  the  faid 
County  for  an  Exhibitioner  from  Bafingftoke,  &c.  by  indenture,  an.  1607. 

The  Lady  Elizabeth  Periam  of  Greenland  in  Berkftiire,  widow  of  Sir 
"William  Periam,  Kt.  fometime  [Ld.Ch.]  Baron  of  the  Exchequer,  gave  main- 
tenance for  one  Fellow  and  two  Scholars,  the  Fellow  to  have  all  the  privi- 
leges that  the  old  have,  and  the  Scholars  to  enjoy  their  places  three  years 
after  they  have  proceeded  Bachelors  of  Arts,  &c.  i8  Jacobi,  Dom.  1620, 
Which  gift  was  far  more  equitable  than  that  of  Blundell's,  and  more  fuit- 
able  to  the  Statutes  of  the  College,  which  ordain  that  the  rents  decreafing, 
the  maintenance  of  the  Fellows  ftiould  alfo  decreafe,  even  as  the  faid  Lady 
appointed  in  her  compofition  for  her  Fellow  and  Scholar,  whereas  in  that  of 
Blundell's  is  no  fuch  thing,  neither  provifion  for  diminution  of  rents.  She 
died  3  May,  1621,  and  was  buried  in  the  Chancel  of  Henley  church  in  Ox- 
fordfhirej  overwhofe  grave  is  a  fair  marble  monument  with  an  infcription. 

John  Warner,  D.  D.  [fometime  Fellow  of  Magdalene  College]  Bi- 
fhop  of  Rochefter,  gave  80/.  per  an.  to  iflue  out  of  his  manor  of  Swayton 
in  Lincolnfhire,  for  the  maintenance  of  four  Scholars  of  the  Scotch  na- 
tion, to  be  chofen  from  time  to  time  by  the  Archbiftiop  of  Canterbury, 
and  Biftiop  of  Rochefter,  each  to  have  20/.  yearly  till  they  were  Mafters 
of  Art,  and  then  they  were  to  go  back  to  their  own  country,  and  there  be 
minifters  of  the  word  of  God,  &:c.  This  gift  was  made  an.  1666(50),  at 
which  time  the  donor  died  :  but  the  overfeers  for  this  matter,  being  not  wil-

lows  altogether  willing  to  receive  them,  as  being  not  in  any  way  advanta- 
geous to  the  Hoiife,  thoughts  were  had  of  making  Gloucefter  Hall,  a  Col- 
lege for  them,  and  ibme  of  them  thereupon  were  placed  there.  At  length 
when  Dr.  Good  became  Matter  of  this  College  [in  1672]  he  took  order  that 
they  fhould  be  tranflated  hither,  and  here  they  yet  continue. 

Having  now  done  with  the  chief  Benefa6bors, '  I  Ihall  proceed  to  fpeak  of 
the  Governors  of  this  Houfe,  whom  I  find  to  have  been  written  under  va- 
rious names,  and  their  authority  to  rife  and  fall.  The  firft  that  ruled  were 
Procurators,  which  by  the  Lady  Dervorgille  were  appointed,  and  one  of 
them  always  to  be  a  minorite  Fryer,  and  the  other  a  Scholar  of  Oxford, 
and  fuch  alfo  that  had  not  been  of  this  Houfe,  but  afterward  negledcd, 
when  Richard  Roderham,  who  had  been  of  this  College,  was  one  of  the 
Reftors  in  the  time  of  Hen.  VI.  Under  them  was  the  Society  ruled  till 
ftatutes  were  given,  an.  1282  ;  and  then  a  power  being  allowed  to  the  Scho- 
lars to  choofe  a  Principal,  as  they  upon  the  publifhing  of  them  did,  (though 
never  written  by  that  name,  but  Cuftos  only)  the  domeftick  care  of  the 
Procurators  was  taken  away,  and  the  power  as  it  were  of  Vilitors  allowed 
to  them  to  redrefs  all  things  relating  to  controverfy,  either  between  the  Prin- 
cipal or  Scholars,  or  the  Scholars  themfelves.  That  Officer  therefore  lafted 
till  the  year  1340,  and  then  Sir  Philip  Somcrvyle  giving  new  Statutes  the 
name  of  the  Governor  was  changed  from  Principal  to  Matter,  and  fo  it  con- 
tinues to  this  day  (51).  As  for  the  Procurators,  they,  fometimes  by  the 
names  of  Redores  and  Magiftri  extrinfeci  remained  long  after,  and  exer- 
cifed  their  authority  as  before,  which  being  fomewhat  abated,  when  the  Bi- 
fhop  of  London  gave  the  College  new  Statutes,  an.  1364  (wherein  he  or- 
dained that  if  any  ftatute  feemed  too  rigorous  in  the  judgment  of  the  Redtors 
or  of  the  matter  and  major  part  of  the  company,  it  Ihould  be  in  the  bofom 
of  the  Bifhop  of  London  to  reform,  as  it  was  twice  afterwards  done ;  namely, 
an.  1433,  and  1477  i  arguing  thereby,  that  there  was  one  above  the  Redor) 
were  at  length  wth  their  authority,  when  the  Bifhop  of  Winchefter  came  to

given  and  conveyed  to  the  College.     The  next  two  plots  that  were  added, 
joyned  to  the  other  two  on   the  eaft  fide,  and  reached  to  the  land  of  the 
Monks  of  Durham,  which  is  now  the  entrance  or  alley  leading  to  Trinity

tended from  the  way  leading  under  the  eaft  end  of  Magdalen  Church,  to  the

which  ftood  St.  Margaret's  Hall)  and  moft  of  the  land  behind  the  faid  fore- 
front (which  reached   to   that  portion  beforementioned,  bought  of  John  Ic 
Sawcer,  which  was  as  a  head-land  to  it)  the  College  enlarged  their  buildings 
for  the  reception  of  their  ftudents,  having  lb  many  that  they  were  forced  to 
lodge  in  Halls  or  Hoftles  adjoining:  but  enlarge  them  they  did,  void  of  all 
uniformity,  notwithftanding  the  College  found  fufHcient  benefaftors  towards 
their  erection;  fo  that  fome  being  pulled  down  in  the  reign  of  H.  VI,  moft 
part  of  the  prefcnt  quadrangle  was   built.     The  oldeft  part  of  it  that  now 
ftands  is  the  eaft  fide  of  the  quadrangle,  built  chiefly  with  the  monies,  as  I 
fuppofe,  of  feveral  of  the  nobility  and  biftiops  that  had  been  educated  here,

The  fouth  par.,  which  is  the  forefront  of  the  College,  was  not,  as  it  feems,

Si//.  two  bells,  and  another  at  the  top  of  the  tabernacular  works  over  the  pede- 
ftal,  fhewing  that  the  faid  William  Bell  was  either  a  benefaftor  to  that 
building,  or  elfe  that  the  chiefell  part  was  eredled  in  his  time,  though  began 
in  that  of  his  predecefibr  Mr.  Robert  Abdy,  who  probably  might  have  been 
a  benefa6lor  alfo,  as  he  was  to  the  Library. 

To  thefe  buildings  mud  be  added  thofe  called  Ca?far's  Lodgings,  (land- 
ing on  the  north  fide,  and  beyond  the  College,  purchafed  moltly  with  the 
money  given  thereunto  by  Dr.  Abbot,  Archbifhop  of  Canterbury,  in  the 
beginning  of  K.  Charles  I,  as  I  Ihall  tell  you  more  at  large  in  Pembroke 
College.  They  were  fo  called  from  Henry  Caefar,  (brother  to  Dr.  Julius

Library.     As  for  the  Library  (which  is  reputed  one  of  the  befl  in  Ox- 
ford, that  is  Collegiate,  efpecially   if  you   have  a  regard  to  its  buildings, 
beautiful  windows   that  are  not  too  light,  wich  other  conveniencies)  it  was 
built  by  fevcralpcrfons.  The  lower  or  weft  part,  containing  half  of  che  whole, 
was  built  by  Dr.  Thomas  Chace,  an.  1431,  and  the  upper  half,  which  is  the 
eaft  part,  by  Mr.  Robert  Abdy,  fometime  Mafter  of  this  Houfe,  about  the 
year  1477,  affifted  with  the  monies  of  Grey,  Bifhop  of  Ely.     Which  part  of 
Dr.   Chace  being  finifhed,  and  afterwards  that   of  Abdy,  the  faid   Bifhop 
enriched   them  with   choice  and  precious  manufcripts,  amounting   to  the 
number  of  about  2ro-,  on  moft  of  which,  if  not  all,  his  arms,  painted  on  Grey. 
vellum,  were  faitened,  and  over  the  vellum  were  nailed  pieces  of  thin  horn 
to  prevent  the  taking  away  or  tearing  off  the  refpeclive  infcriptions  on  them, 
fome  of  which  do  yet  remain.     The  faid  Manufcripts,  and  alfo  thofe  (as  I 
conceive)   that   he  (98)  gave  to  Peter  Houfe  in  Cambridge,  or  at  leaft  the 
major  part  of  them,  w^ere  by  him  bought  and  procured  from  certain  Libra- 
ries that  he  met  with  in  England  and  Italy  •,  for   in  his  travels  through  the 
laft,  and  particularly  at  Florence,  Venice,  and  other  places,  he  or  his  faftors 
fpared  neither  coft  or  labour  to  obtain  them.     But  with  great  refentment 
let  it  be  fpoken,  divers  of  them  which  fmelledof  fuperftition,  or  that  treated 
of  School  divinity,  or  of  Geometry,  or  Aftronomy,  were  taken  away  in  that 
ignorant  time  of  Ed.  VI,  wherein  people,   under  pretence  of  reformation, 
pilfered  and  made  havock  of  thofe  things  which  pofterity  hath  fince  much 
defired  to  fee.     As  for  the  reft  that  remained,   which  with  the  former  had 
their  initial  and  great  letters  limned  with  much  curiofity,  and  many  of  their 
margins  painted  with  feveral  fancies,  and  adorned   with  florage,  (all  which 
was  maftcrly  performed  by  that  exquifite  painter  Antonius  Marius,  the  fon,

one  of  the  chiefeft  of  his  profefnon,  while  this  noble  Biihop  was  at  Florence, 
who  alfo  tranfcribed  feveral  exemplars  for  him  there)  have  been  by  idle, 
childifli,  and  impertinent  People,  either  cutout  from  their  refpedive  books, 
or  elfe  Ihamefully  abufed  ;  fuch  hath  b^en  the  negligence  of  thole  that  were 
obliged  by  oath  to  take  care  of  them. 

What  other  benefa6lors  this  Library  hath  had,  have  been  many,  and  thofe 
chiefly  that  were  Fellows  or  Students  of  this  Houfe  •,  but  their  gifts,  which 
were  books  only,  having  been  inconfiderable,  I  fhall  omit  them,  and  only 
remember  the  benefa6lion  of  Dr.  Thomas  Gafcoigne,  fometime  Chancellor 
of  the  Univerfity,  who  gave  feveral  MSS,  and  money  towards  its  building  ; 
not  that  he  ever  had  been  Fellow  or  Scholar  of  this  Houfe,  (that  I  can  yet 
find)  though  reported  by  fome  late  (99)  writers  to  have  been  fo,  but  merely 
out  of  a  generous  mind,  as  he  had  done  about  the  fame  time  to  other  places. 
Next  after  him,  finding  none  that  have  fcarce  merited  the  name  of  benefac- 
tors, (except  Dr.  John  Warner,  fometime  of  this  Houfe,  afterward  [Fellow 
and  then  Warden]  of  All  Souls  College,  who  gave  20I.  an.  1564)  I  fhall 
defcend  to  the  reign  of  K.  James,  wherein  I  find  many  •,  the  chief  of  whom 
was  Dr.  George  Abbot,  Archbifhop  of  Canterbury,  who  in  the  year  1619 
expended  divers  fums  in  repairing  and  enlarging  the  number  of  books,  after 
it  had  laid  in  a  carelefs  manner  from  the  time  of  the  Reformation  of  reli- 
gion, or  rather  before,  to  that  time. 

After  him  feveral  benefadors  followed,  which  for  brevity  paffing  by,  I 
fhall  only  tell  you  of  the  generous  gift  of  Sir  Thomas  Wendy  of  Hafeling- 
field  in  the  County  of  Cambridge,  Knight  of  the  Bath,  who  having  been 
educated  in  this  Houfe,  as  a  Gentleman  Commoner,  did,  at  the  time  of  his 
death  (17 Nov.  1673)  bequeath,  with  fome  conditions,  his  whole  library, 
valued  to  be  worth  at  leaft  600I.  to  be  repofed  in  this  of  Balliol :  which  be- 
ing received  by  the  Society  in  an.  1677,  was  fet  up  in  the  beginning  of  the 
year  following.  By  which  addition,  confiding  moftly  of  choice  books,  this 
Library  is  accounted  one  of  the  beft  in  Oxon. 

The  next  matters  that  I  am  to  take  notice  of,  are  thofe  infcriptions  and 
verfes  in  the  windows  which  tell  us  either  of  thofe  that  firft  put  them  up,  or 
of  the  builders  of  the  Library,  or  benefadors  to  the  College  •,  which  being 
done,  I  (hall  fet  down  the  arms  military,  as  1  find  them,  and  then  let  the 
reader  judge  of  them  as  he  pleafes. 

In  the  eaft  or  upper  window,  which  looketh  into  the  Chapel,  is  the  pic- 
tnre  of  St.  Catherine,  the  Patronefs  of  this  College,  [having  herfword  in 
one  hand,  her  wheel  in  the  other,  and  her  crown  upon  her  head,  and  this

Thus  far  concerning  the  Library  that  now  ftands.  What  this  College 
had  before,  I  find  little  or  no  mention,  (the  Society,  as  it  is^probable,  repo- 
fing  their  books  in  chefts,  as  other  ancient  Societies  did)  only  fo  far  that  fe- 
veral,  that  had  been  Oxford  Students,  left  in  their  wills  feveral  books  to  the 
College,  without  any  mention  of  a  Library.  Among  them  was  Mr.  Simon 
de  Bredon,  the  worthieft  mathematician  of  his  time,  who  in  the  year  1372 
gave  feveral  books  of  Aftronomy  and  Mathematicks  (109).  William  Rede, 
Biihop  of  Chichefter,  (no)  ten  books,  five  pounds  in  money,  and  a  filver

Chapel.  As  for  the  Chapels  or  places  wherein  the  Society  have  cele- 
jDrated  fervice,  and  the  memories  daily  of  their  pious  benefactors,  have  been 
feveral.  The  firft  was  in  an  ifle  adjoining  St.  Mary  Magdalene's  church,  in 
whofe  parifti  the  College  is  fituated. 

The  fecond  went  by  the  name  of  an  Oratory  only,  dedicated  to  St.  Ka- 
therine,  built  by  the  Society  about  the  year  1293,  (with  the  monies  chiefly 
of  the  Lady  Dervorgill,  which  ftie  left  at  the  time  of  her  death)  for  then,  as 
it  appears  from  record,  (112)  the  Society  after  much  ado  procured  licenfe  of 
Oliver,  Bifhop  of  Lincoln,  that  they  might  no  more  celebrate  in  their  pa- 
rifh  church,  but  in  the  Oratory  built  within  their  own  College,  fo  that  they 
vifit  the  faid  church  on  the  greater  folemnities  of  the  year,  as  other  Students 
were  obliged  to  do  in  the  churches  of  thofe  parifhes  wherein  they  lived. 
In  which  licenfe  no  permiflion  was  allowed  for  the  celebrating  of  the  facra- 
ments,  which  was  the  matter  they  chiefly  defired,  not  only  as  a  great  con- 
venience, but  alfo  an  advantage,  to  them  •,  though  afterward  granted  to  them 
by  the  authority  of  the  Pope.  In  this  Oratory,  known  afterward  by  the 
name  of  St.  Katherine's  Chapel,  did  Mr.  Hugh  Warkenely,  and  Mr.

William  Gotham  (113)  (whom  I  have  mentioned  before)   fettle  (114')  a 
Chaplain  13 10.     So  that  that  duty  which  lay  upon  the  Fellows,  was  then 
taken  away"    Afterward  the  College  being  minded  to  make  the  faid  Chapel 
more  elegant,  or  elfe  enlarge  or  re-edify  it,  having  been  encouraged  thereto 
by  benefadors,  one  Adam  le  Poleter,  a  burgher  of  Reading  in  Berks, 
who  had  delivered  twenty  pounds  into  the  hands  of  Nicholas  de  Querp- 
LADE,  Abbat  of  the  Monaftery  at  that  place,  to   be  bellowed  by  him  on 
pious  ufes  for  the  health  of  the  faid  Adam's  foul,  was  by  the  faid  Abbat,  at 
the  entreaty  of  certain  perfons,  (115)  given  to  this  College,  an.  1327,  for 
the  building  of  the  Chapel  of  St.  Catherine  there,  with  ten  marks  of  his 
own,  a  glafs  window  worth  ten  pounds,  and  fome  timber  befide  at  the  fame 
time,  with  a  defire  alfo  that  what  he  had  done  might  be   recorded,  that  it 
was  not   his  utmoft  charity  to  the  world,  but  had  intentions  far  more  'and 
greater.     And  now  as  the  College,  who  had  before  obtained  iicenfe  from 
Oliver,  Bilhop  of  Lincoln,  to  celebrate  divine  offices  within  their  own  Ora- 
tory becaufe  of  the  frequency  of  difputations  and  ledlures,  which  hindered 
them  from  attending  divine  offices  in  the  pariffi  church,  and  the  fame  ob- 
tained from,  and  approved  by,  his  fuccefTors,  John  Dahlerby,  Henry  Bur- 
walh,  and  Thomas  Becke,   as  appears  in  a  writing  (116)  under  the  feal  of 
the  faid  Thomas,  an.  1346  :  fo  alfo  was  the  like  Iicenfe,  upon  the  fame  con- 
dition as  the  former  were,  granted  (117)  by  John  Bokyngham,  Bilhop  of 
Lincoln,  an.  1368  j  in  which  their  Oratory  is  ftiled  a  Chapel,  and  in  none 
of  thofe  going  before.     But  as  in  the  former  there  was  a  tacit,  fo  in  this  laft 
Iicenfe  an  exprefs  exception  of  adminiftering  the  Sacraments ;  in  which  the 
Society  acquiefced,  till  upon  their  petition  Pope  Urban  VI,  in  the  fecond 
year  of  his  Pontificate,  granted  Iicenfe  (118)  to  perform  the  fame. 

The  place  where  this  Chapel  or  Oratory  flood  I  know  not :  fome  of  this 
Houfe  think  it  was  the  large  Hall  over  the  Buttery,  belonging  to  the  Ma- 
iler, built  as  I  have  told  you  before,  in  Bifhop  Grey's  time,  as  his  arms  cutGr^^-. 
in  flone  under  the  great  bay  window  looking  eaflward,  fliews.  The  which 
if  fo,  then  cannot  it  agree  with  that  delivered  before  concerning  the  Chapel, 
becaufe  the  faid  Mailer's  Hall  was  built  in  the  reign  of  Henry  VI.  But 
howfoever  it  is,  fure  I  am  that  the  faid  Chapel  continued  in  ufe  till  the  reign 
of  Hen.  Vlli^:  and  then  this  comely  and  decent  Chapel,  which  now  flands 
on  the  north  fide  of  the  quadrangle,  was  built. 

It  being  the  third  that  the  Society  hath  had,  was  begun  in  the  13th  year 
of  the  faid  King's  reign,  Dom.  1521,  and  completely  finifhed  an.  1529.  To 
which  divers  benefadors  freely  beflowed- their  monies,  but  what  their  names 
are  I  cannot  yet  find.  As  for  thofe  that  gave  the  windows,  are  thefe  (as  in 
the  windows  themfelves)  that  follow.

IV.     EXETER       COLLEGE. 

THE  firfl:  foundation  of  this  place  was  at  Herthall,  as  I  fhall  further 
fhew  when  I  come  there ;  but  the  Founder,  Walter,  de  Staple- 
don,  Bifhop  of  Exeter,  (who  before  had  been  a  Student  in  this  Univerfity, 
and  afterward  Chaplain  to  the  Pope,  and  Chanter  of  the  faid  church  of 
Exeter)  difliking  that  place,  as  being  not  in  a  poflibility  of  obtaining  more 
room  to  enlarge  it,  changed  his  mind  in  an  year*s  fpace  by  entertaining 
thoughts  of  a  more  convenient  fite  in  St.  Mildred's  parifli,  under  and  a- 
gainlt  the  north  wall  of  the  City,  that  is  to  fay,  in  the  lane  going  from  the 
place  where  Turl  or  Thorald  gate  now  is,  to  the  north  end  of  School-ftreet, 
There  it  was  that  one  Mr.  Peter  de  Skeltone,  Clerk,  having  certain  te- 
nements both  free  and  for  term  of  life,  did,  at  the  Founder's  requeft,  firfl 
(i)  give  to  the  Reftor  and  Scholars  of  Stapledon  Hall,  alias  Herthall,  an 
ancient  place  confecrated  to  learning,  called  St.  Stephen's  Hall  in  fefto  S. 
Fides  9  Edw.  II,  Dom.  J  3 15.  On  the  ground  of  which  was  afterward  built 
the  common  gate  with  the  tower  over  ir,  on  the  north  fide  of  the  College 
that  now  (lands. 

The  fame  year  on  the  morrow  after  the  faid  feaft  did  the  faid  Mr.  Peter 
give  (2)  to  the  faid  Scholars  two  Chambers,  with  a  court  or  yard  belonging 
to  them,  called  La  Lavendrie,  which  he  had  by  the  gift  of  the  Abbefs  and 
Convent  of  Godllow  for  term  of  life,  fituated  on  the  eaft  fide  of  St.  Ste- 
phen's Hall  beforementioned.  Which  Chambers  with  other  rooms  adjoining, 
did  the  faid  Abbefs  and  Convent,  an.  131 8,  grant  and  to  farm  let  (3)  for 
ever  to  the  Redor  and  Scholars  by  paying  a  certain  yearly  rent.  So  that 
the  faid  tenements  being  thus  procured,  with  other  plots  of  ground  adjoin- 
ing, the  Founder,  by  virtue  of  the  King's  licenfe,  (^)  which  he  had  ob- 
tained, 10  May,  7  Edw.  11,  Dom.  13 14,  for  the  founding  of  Herthall,  did, 
without  any  other  foundation  Charter,  tranflate  his  Scholars  thence  to  the 
faid  places,  which  he  had  partly  repaired,  and  partly  new  built  for  their 
reception. 

But  Ibon  after,  underftanding  that  thofe  places  were  too  little  for  his 
Scholars,  as  alfo  for  thofe  wcflcrn  Students  that  came  to  Oxford  to  ftudy 
and  converfe  with  them,  procured,  while  living,  other  tenements,  to  the  num- 
ber of  five,  which  flood  (one  excepted)  within  the  ambits  of  the  prefent 
College,  as  it  fhall  be  clfewhere  told  you  at  large.  All  which  (after  an  in-

oaths  of  twelve  men,  whether  it  would  not  be  prejudicial  to  the  King,  or 
other  perfons,  if  Walter  de  Stapledon  fhould  give  to  the  Reclor  and  Scho- 
lars of  the  Houfe  of  Stapledon  thofe  tenements,  which  was  returned  in  the 
negative)  being  repaired  or  new  built,  a  fair  enlargement  was  added  to  their 
Houfe.  Among  which,  if  I  am  not  miftaken,  that  tenement  was  one,  ftiled 
in  ancient  (6)  fcripts  Palatium  prope  cameras  Aula;  Stapledonianze,  on 
which  divers  reparations  were  made  by  the  Redtor  and  Scholars  of  Staple- 
don Hall,  an.  1329,  and  afterward. 

Now  that  the  Scholars  might  be  truly  and  equally  governed,  the  Foun- 
der, like  a  prudent  Governor,  gave  them  (7)  Statutes,  wherein  among 
other  matters,  I  find  that  the  number  that  he  appointed  to  receive  mainte- 
nance from  his  liberality  fhould  be  thirteen,  of  which  one  fhould  be  con- 
verfant  in  Theology  or  Canon  Law,  and  the  reft  in  Philofophy.  Eight  of 
them  alfo  were  to  be  of  the  three  Archdeaconries  of  Devonfhire,  namely 
Exeter,  Totnefs,  and  Barnftaple,  four  of  the  Archdeaconry  of  Cornwall, 
and  one  who  was  to  be  a  prieft,  to  be  nominated  and  defied  by  the  Dean 
and  Chapter  of  Exeter  from  any  place  which  they  deemed  moft  fit. 

As  for  the  revenues  which  he  gave  them,  were  only  certain  meffuages  in 
Oxford  (which  were,  except  one,  taken  into  the  limits  of  the  College)  and 
the  advowfons  of  the  Churches  of  Gwynnier  in  Cornwall  and  Weft  whittenham 
in  Berkftiire.  The  laft  of  which,  being  by  the  endeavours  of  John  Polyng 
(whom  (8)  fome  ftile  Bifhop  of  Saliftjury,  though  none  of  that  name  occur 
in  the  hiftory  of  Bifhops)  and  Edmund  de  la  Beche  appropriated  to  the 
College  about  the  year  1350,  were  two  Scholars  or  Fellows  of  the  Diocefe 
of  Salifbury  placed  afterward  in  the  College  by  Edmund  Stafford,  Bi- 
fhop of  Exeter. 

BENEFACTORS. 

AS  for  the  Benefaflors  that  this  Houfe  hath  had  fince  its  foundation,  have 
been  many,  among  whom  (fuch  that  muft  come  in  here)  have  been  Mr. 
Peter  de  Skeltone  beforerp/rntioned,  who  befides  revenues  gave  (9) 
goods. 

Mr.  Ralph  Germeyne,  Chantor  of  the  Church  of  Exeter,  founded  a 
Cheft,  (10)  wherein  he  put  10/,  &c.  an.  1316,  called  afterward  Germeyne's 
Hutch  or  Cheft.  Mr.  Richard  Grenfield  (ii)  another  alfo  fome  years

made  to  Pope  Innocent  VII,  altered  the  name  of  this  Houfe  from  Stapledon

And  with  fo  great  gifts  and  benefadions  did  he  endow  this  place,  amounting

Alley,  Bifhop  of  Exeter,  procured  from  him  new  (15)  Statutes  to  be  fent  to 
the  College  (following  thole  of  Trinity)  from^  the  Queen  alfo  licenfe  that 
the  College  might  be  a  body  politick  and  corporate,  which  was  never  fo

an.  1566.  At  the  fame  time  alfo  the  faid  worthy  Knight  founded  feven(i6) 
Scholarfhips  or  Fellowfhips,  and  the  next  year  another  to  be  nominated 
by  him  and  his  heirs  from  the  Counties  of  Devon,  Somerfet,  Dorfet,  Ox-

faid  Sir  William  had  then  lands  and  inheritances.  For  vvhofe  maintenance 
and  other  ufes,  he  gave  pofieflions  to  the  yearly  value  of  91/.  Ss.  lod.  oh. 
And  that  alfo  they  might  be  equal  in  all  matters  to  thofe  of  the  old  founda-

BUILDINGS. 

THE  Buildings  of  this  Houfe  have  formerly  been  divers,  but  much  con- 
fufed,  and  nothing  of  method  in  them.  The  Gate  which  looketh  north- 
ward, fometime  the  principal  entrance,  before  Exeter  lane  was  (topped  up, 
was  built  about  the  year  1432.  Thofe  buildings  alio  between  it  and  the  new 
Chapel  (which  are  fince  become  the  Rector's  Lodgings)  were  then  alfo  built, 
to  which,  the  Tower,  and  others  then  going  forward,  Mr.  William  Pal- 
mer, Fellow  at  that  time  of  this  Houfe  (26),  gave  100/.  and  more.  On  the 
north  fide  of  the  faid  Rector's  Lodgings  Dr.  Arthur  Bury  added  a  ftone 
fabrick  of  three  ftories,  an.  1671,  purpofely  for  a  convenient  enlargement  for 
him  and  his  fucceffors.  In  an  upper  window  of  thofe  Lodgings  looking 
into  the  Qiiadrangle  I  fometime  faw  thefe  arms  following,  that  had  been  for- 

Exeter      merly  fet  up,  viz.  (1 )  the  arms  of  the  College;  (2)  Or,  three  Torteuxes  Gul.

end  of  the  College  long  fince  demolifhed.  Part  of  the  Buildings  on  the  eaft 
fide  of  the  north  gate  were,  as  I  fuppofe,  built  with  the  monies  of  Mr.  Ri- 
chard Grenfield  beforementioned,  or  elfe  by  fome  of  his  name,  for  as  I 
remember  there  was  an  ancient  coat  of  arms,  Gul.  three  Sufflues  or  Clarions

the  eaft  fide  of  the  upper  Court  that  now  is.  Thomas  Bentley,  Butler  of 
the  College,  made  alfo  Lodging  Rooms  over  the  faid  Library  an.  1597. 

Sir  John  Periam,  Knt,  a' rich  Citizen  of  Exeter,  built  thofe  Lodgings 
which  are  ftanding  between  the  fouth  end  of  the  faid  old  Library,  and  the 
eaft  end  of  the  new  Hall,  an.  1618,  which  bear  the  name  of  Periam's 
Buildings  to  this  day.

The  publick  Gate  and  Chambers  over  It,  oppofite  to  Jefus  College,  were 
built  by  Mr.  Everard  Chambers,  Fellow  of  this  Hou-ie,  about  the  latter 
end  of  Queen  Elizabeth  :  Which  Chambers  with  their  appurtenances  were 
purchafed  by  the  College  an.  1605,  for  which  they  gave  the  faid  builder

The  pile  of  building  between  the  faid  publick  Gate  and  the  Chapel  was 
moftly  erefled  an.  1672  ;  to  the  finifliing  of  which  thefe  perfons  following

There  were  alfo  fix  and  thirty  Fellow  Commoners  that  paid  eight  pounds

Sandys  Fortescue,  Bart,  mofc  of  whom,  if  not  all,  came  to  the  College 
when  this  new  part  was  in  building  and  after.  Thefe  benefa6lions,  and 
fome  of  the  College  money  finifhed  half  of  the  faid  building.  The  other 
half  at  the  weft  end  of  the  Chapel  was  finilhed  1682.  (29)*

EXETER       COLLEGE. 


Hall  or  Refectorv,  was  no  other  at  firfl:,  as  it  plainly  appears,  than 
what  the  Scholars  found  in  St.  Stephen's  Hall,  which  in  few  years  after  be- 
ing pulled  down,  another  was  erecfted  in  the  middle  almoft  of  the  upper 
Court,  half  (30)  roofed  afterward  by  Bifliop  Stafford  beforementioned. 
To  which  Hall  a  fair  Kitchen  was  (31)  added  about  the  year  1483  at  the 
charo-e  of  feveral  people;  the  chief  was  John  Philippe,  fometime  Fellow 
and '^Keftor  of  this  Houfe  (afterward  Dean  of  Crediton)  who  (32)  gave 
3/.  6s.  Sd.  towards  its  ereftion.  As  for  the  faid  Hall  it  flood  till  the  year 
161 8,  and  then  it  being  pulled  down,  that  wTiich  now  ftands  on  the  South 
fide  of  the  upper  Court  with  a  fair  Cellar  under  it,  (without  doubt  not  the 
flime  made  1590,  of  which  I  find  mention  elfewhere)  was  built  by  Sir  John 
AcLAND,  a  Devonfliire  Knight,  who  beftowed  towards  its  building  Soo/. 
and  the  College  about  200/.  more  (33).  The  Kitchen  was  alfo  at  that  time 
demoliflied,  and  that  which  now  is  at  the  wefl  end  of  the  faid  new  Hall  was 
built  partly  with  the  monies  of  Mr.  Richard  Sandy,  alias  Napier,  Dr. 
Robert  Vilvaine,  Mr.  William  Orphord,  and  Mr.  William  Helme, 
fometime  Students  in  this  Houfe.

[The  augmentation  of  Sir  W.  Petre's  arms 
was  probably  made  by  K.  Hen.  VIII,  as  an 
acknowledgment  of  his  fervices  abovcmen- 
tioned  ;  and  the  reafon  why  it  was  rejefted 
by  his  fon  John  might  be  this  :  John,  who 
was  a  Catholic,  might  conceive  it  an  unjufl, 
if  not  an  impious  a£l  cf  his  father,  to  be  a 
great  means  of  the  diffolution  of  the  Reli- 
gious Houfes,  and  in  coniequence  mufl  have 
luoked  on  the  augmentation  as  a  fligma,  and 
not  as  an  honour  to  their  family,]

Library.  As  for  the  Library  it  was  at  firft,  as  I  fuppofe,  built  by  the 
Founder,  but  in  what  place  I  know  not.  He  gave  fcveral  books  thereunto, 
and  would,  if  his  life  had  been  fparcd  by  the  giddy  multitude,  have  enriched 
it  with  the  rarities  of  his  time.  Afterward  John  Grandison,  Bifhop  of 
Exeter,  gave  divers  (35)  theological  books  to  it,  an.  1368,  as  he  did  at  the  fame 
time  to  other  places,  and  Mr.  Simon  de  Bredon,  the  Mathematician,  di- 
vers {^6)  of  Aftronomy  and  Mathematicks,  an.  1372.  But  the  faid  Library 
falling  to  ruin  in  the  reign  of  Edw.  III,l  about  the  year  1374,  William 
Rede,  Bifhop  of  Chichefter,  gave  towards  its  reparation  twenty  pounds,  and 
twenty-five  manufcripts  to  be  put  therein,  befides  what  he  gave  {^5)  in  his 
will,  an.  1382.  Which  money  being  referved  till  other  Benetadlors  came  in, 
of  whom  Thomas  Brentyngham,  Bifhop  of  Exeter,  and  Mr.  John  More, 
fometime  ReAor  of  this  place,  afterward  of  St.  Peter's  in  Exeter,  were  the 
rhiefeft,  (who,  as  it  appears,  gave  (38)  feveral  fums  of  money)  a  comely 
Library  was  built  on  the  call  fide  of  the  upper  Court  that  now  is,  about  the 
year  1383  -,  which  being  afterwards  found  too  little  to  receiv^e  the  books  given 
by  divers  Benefaftors,  Edmund  Stafford,  beforementioned,  repaired  and 
enlarged  it,  and  made  it  longer,  and  alfo  repaired  the  roof  thereof  about  the 
year  1404,  making  then  feven  ftudies  on  each  fide,  whereas  before  there  were 
not  fo  many.  Afrerwards  it  was  enriched  with  books  by  divers  perfons, 
namely,  by  Roger  Keys,  Chantor  of  the  Collegiate  Church  of  St.  Peter  in 
Exeter,  an.  1469,  who  then  gave  the  Works  of  Hugh  of  Vienne  on  the  whole 
Bible,  containing  eighteen  volumes,  in  fome  of  which  were  his  arms  depiAed, 
j^  viz.  parted  per  Chevron  Gul.  and  Sab.  three  Keys  Or. 

Mr.  Henry  Lawrence,  fometime  Redor,  gave  (39)  at  the  time  of  his 
death,  an,  1545,  all  his  books  befide  forty  fhiilings  in  money.  Dr.  W^illiam 
Moreman,  Dean  of  Exeter  Cathedral,  all  the  (40)  Works  of  St.  Auftin,

in  Cornwall,  and  Canon  of  Exeter,  gave  at  the  time  of  his  death  (which  was

Chapel.  The  places  wherein  the  Students  of  this  Foundation  have  ce- 
lebrated fervice  have  been  fcveral. 

The  firft  was  in  St.  Peter's  Church  in  the  eaft,  while  they  abode  at 
Hert-hall. 

The  fecond  was  in  St.  Mildred's  parifh  Church,  after  the  tranQation  of 
the  faid  Students  to  Stapledon  Hall,  fituated  in  that  parifli. 

The  third,  in  a  Chapel  within  their  own  Houfe,  tfrefted  within  few  years 
after  their  cbqiing  to  Stapledon  Hall :  for  the  Founder,  finding  it  trouble- 
fome  to  his  Scholars  to  attend  divine  offices  in  the  parifh  Church,  which 
they   could  not   well   do   without   neglefting   philofophical   exercifes,    he

which  being  confirmed  (44)  the  year  following  by  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of 
the  laid  place  (faving  the  rights  and  oblations  due  to  the  Reiftor  or  Vicar  of 
the  parifli  Church,  wherein  the  faid  Chapel  was  to  be  built)  a  fair  Chapel, 
with  convenient  rooms  under  it,  was.finifhed  before  the  year  13265  for  then, 
as  I  find,  (45)  upon  tlie  defirc  of  the  Founder,  licenfe  was  granted  to  him  by 
the  faid  Biiliop  of  Lincoln,  that  he  might  confecrate  the  greater  Altar  of  the 
Chapel  of  Stapledon  Hall,  then  lately  built,  to  the  honour  of  the  Blefled 
Virgin  Mary,  St.  Peter  the  Apoftle,  and  St.  Thomas  the  Martyr.  To  the 
faid  Chapel  ^vhich  is  yet  {landing  (45*)  on  the  fouth  fide  of  the  lower  Court) 
Edmund  Stafford,  beforementioned,  added  (46)  at  the  weft  end  thereof  a 
fair  porch,  with  a  leaden  roof  over  ir,  an.  1404,  to  the  end  that  a  lobby 
or  avenue  might  be  made  both  to  it  and  the  Library.  Befide  which  alio 
(and  a  little  Chamber  under  the  fteps  in  the  faid  porch,  which  he  then  caufed 
to  be  made)  he  gave  feveral  books,  and  a  Chalice  to  be  ufed  in  the  faid 
Chapel.  Afterward  Mr.  William  Palmer,  before  mentioned,  made  this 
Chapel  longer  at  the  eaft  end,  and  put  up  a  fair  window  there,  as  alio  did 
Mr.  John  Westlake,  another  on  the  north  fide  about  the  year  1488. 
Which  Chapel  continuing  in  ufe  till  1624,  was  the  year  following  turned 
into  a  Library  with  the  monies  of  Mr.  Napier,  Dr.  Vilvaine,  Mr.  Or- 
PHORD,  and  Mr.  Helme  before  mentioned. 

In  the  eaft  window  thereof,  at  the  top,  is  the  pidure  of  a  man  kneeling, 
with  his  gown  and  formalities  on  him,  and  at  the  bottom  this  infcription :

Thamar,  according  to  a  promife  made  while  he  was  a  fchool-boy,  if  fortune 
favoured  his  condition. 

In  the  upper  window  on  the  north  fide  of  the  faid  Chapel  is  the  pidure

Thefirftftoneof  which  was  laid  March  1 1,  1622-3,  and  finiflied  by  Dr.  George 
Hakewill,  Ibmetime  Fellow  [afterward  Redor]  of  this  Houfe,  an.  1624,  ex- 
pending in  the  work  (befide  what  the  College  did,  which  was  about  200/.) 
1 200/.  The  fame  year  Oct.  5,  it  was  confecrated  to  the  memory  of  St.  James 
by  the  Diocefan,  at  wliich  time  Dr.  Prideaux  [dien  Reftor]  preached  theCon- 
fecration  Sermon  onLukexix,  verle  46 :  '  My  Houfe  is  the  Houfe  of  PraycrT* 
Further  alfo  that  the  faid  confecration  day  fliould  be  always  remembered  by 
the  Students  of  this  Houfe,  the  faid  Dr.  Hakewill  gave  afterward  30/.  for 
the  ufe  of  the  College  j  conditionally,  that  on  the  fame  day  fhould  be  prayers 
and  a  Sermon  performed  every  year  in  the  faid  Chapel  between  the  hours  of 
nine  and  eleven  in  the  morning;  which  continuing  in  that  manner  till  1632, 
the  RecStor  and  Fellows  then  ordered  that  the  penfion  of  forty  iliillings  per  an. 
ilTuing  out  of  a  tenement  belonging  to  them  in  Magdalen  parifh  in  Oxford, 
(which  Luke  Eaton  their  head-Cook  gave  them  18  Jacob.)  ftiould  for  the 
greater  folemnity  of  that  day  be  thus  difpofed  ;  that  is  to  fay,  twenty  Iliil- 
lings to  him  that  preacheth  on  that  day,  two  fhillings  to  the  Bible-Clerk, 
two  fhillings  to  him  that  fhould  make  clean  the  Chapel  and  walls  thereof 
againft  that  day,  and  fixteen  fhillings  to  be  bellowed  in  wine  for  the  dinner 
in  the  Hall  after  the  Sermon,  which  contrnueth  to  this  time. 

On  a  pedeflal  which  fupports  the  brafs  eagle  on  which  the  bible  lieth,  is 
this  written : 

*'  Mr.  Johannes  Vivian,  S.  T.  B.  et  hujus  Collegii  nuper  Socius  dedit  1.637." 

[Arms— Arg.  a  Lion  rampant  Gul.  and  the  College  arms  impaling  Sir  W.  Petri's] 

In  the  windows  of  the  Chapel  is  this  written  : 

*'  DOMUS  MEA,    DOMUS  ORATIONIS." 

Over  the  Chapel  door,  next  to  the  public  court,  is  this  written  in  golden 
letters  : 

"  P  R  I  M  O      Q^U  ^  R  I  T  E

As  for  the  monumental  infcriptions  in  this  Chapel,  I  find  but  thefe  few. 
The  firfl  that  I  mull  take  notice  of  is  that  of  Mr.  Nathaniel  Norrington,  on 
a  gravedone  level  with  the  floor,  near  the  fteps  going  up  to  the  altar  j  run-

V.      ORIEL       COLLEGE. 

KING  Edward  II,  called  Edward  of  Carnarvon,  a  learned  prince,  and 
in  the  time  he  lived  an  excellent  poet,  as  certain  authors  (i)  report, 
(who  further  tell  that  he  made  feveral  poems)  had  fo  great  a  veneration  for 
Religion  and  the  Mufes,  that  for  the  encouragement  of  them,  not  only- 
founded  the  College  of  Carmelite  Fryers  in  Oxford,  the  Black  Fryers  at 
.  Langley  in  Hertfordfhire,  and  feveral  other  places,  but  alfo  this  of  the  Vir- 
gin Mary,  called  afterwards  Oriel.  To  the  erection  of  which  Houfe,  though 
at  firft  he  gave  only  his  aflifting  hand,  yet  foon  after  became  Founder  of  it 
by  afTuming  (upon  certain  confiderations)  that  title  upon  him. 

In  order  to  its  beginning,  it  appears  that  upon  the  earneft  petition  and  in- 
treaties  of  Adam  de  Brom,  his  Almoner,  (fometime  one  of  the  Clerks  in 
the  Chancery)  he  (2)  gave  Licenfe  to  him  20  Apr.  an.  reg.  17,  Dom.  1324, 
that  he  might  purchafe  a  mefTuage  in  the  Town  or  Suburbs  of  Oxford,  and 
m  the  fame  melTuage  inflitute  and  found,  to  the  honour  of  the  Virgin  Mary, 
a  certain  College  of  Scholars  ftudying  in  divers  Sciences  "  per  Reflorem" 
(as  he  faith)  "  de  eifdem  Scholaribus  elegcndum,  perpetuis  temporibus  fub 
nomine  Reftoris  Domus  Scholarium  B.  Marise,  Oxon,  &c,"  to  be  ruled  alfo 
and  governed  according  to  the  form  of  the  ordination  of  the  faid  Adam  then 
to  be  made,  notwithftanding  the  ftatute  of  Mortmain  lately  publifhcd. 

Furthermore  alfo  at  his  inftance,  the  King  granted  to  the  Redor  and  Scho- 
lars of  the  faid  Houfe,  that  they,  notwithftanding  the  faid  ftatute,  might 
purchafe  lands,  tenements,  and  revenues,  with  advowfons  of  Churches  to  the 
yearly  value  of  thirty  pounds,  (except  fuch  as  were  held  of  him  in  capite) 
and  to  appropriate  to  themfelves  and  fucceflbrs  the  faid  Churches  for  their 
fuftenance. 

This  Licenfe  being  granted,  the  faid  Adam  de  Brom,  Clerk,  purchafed 
(3)  the  fame  year  of  one  Roger  Marefchall,  Parfon  of  the  Church  of  Tack- 
ley  in  the  county  of  Oxon,  a  Tenement  in  St.  Mary*s  parifti,  which  he  be- 
fore had  new  built :  of  which  meffliage,  divers  Shops,  Selars,  and  Solars  next 
to  the  ftreet,  he  had  let  to  farm  to  Laicks,  but  the  Refedory  and  Chambers 
which  were  backward,  he  had  demifed  to  certain  Scholars  of  the  Univerfity 
to  be  inhabited  by  them  in  a  fcholaftical  manner.  Xhis  being  done,  he  did, 
by  his  foundation  (4)  Charter,  dated  on  the  Feaft  of  St.  Nicholas,  Bilhop 
and  Confeflbr,  (which  is  the  6th  Decemb.)  an.  1324,  found  therein  a  College 
of  Scholars,  ftudying  and  converfant  in  divinity  and  logic,  and  gave  and

confirmed  it  with  its  appurtenances  to  John  de  Laghton,  Re6tor  ek£l,  and 
to  the  faid  Scholars  and  Succeffors  for  ever. 

They  therefore  being  fettled,  and  their  foundation  confirmed  (5)  by  King 
Edward  II,  on  the  20th  of  the  faid  month  and  in  the  fame  year,  A.  de  Broni 
upon  confidence  had  of  the  King's  liberality  to  the  faid  Houfe,  and  of  the  fure 
and  perpetual  fettlement  thereof,  refigned,  with  confent  of  the  Scholars,  all  up 
into  his  hand  to  be  fo  ordered  as  he  fhould  think  fit.  After  it  had  continued 
fo  for  fome  time,  he  by  his  Charter,  (6)  dated  21  Jan*  in  the  19th  year  of  his 
reign^  Dom.  1325,  made  and  appointed  it  a  College  of  Scholars  in  Divinity, 
or  at  leaft  fome  of  them  (if  it  might  feem  fit)  in  the  Canon  Law.  For  which 
faculties,  that  they  might  be  the  more  apt  and  difpofed,  they  fhould  for  fome 
time,  according  to  a  convenient  ordination  then  to  be  made,  ftudy  in  the  Uni- 
verfity  Logic  and  Civil  Law.  The  King  then  alfo  appointed  the  faid  Col- 
lege or  Houfe  to  be  always  governed  by  a  Provoft,  for  whole,  as  alfo  for  the 
Scholars  maintenance,  he  gave  them  one  mefluage,  five  fhops,  five  folars,  and 
one  felar,  in  St.  Mary's  parifh,  which  were  fometime  belonging  to  Roger  Ma- 
refchall,  Parfon  of  Tackley  aforefaid,  and  alfo  a  mefluage  in  the  fuburbs  called 
Perillous  Hall :  both  which  Tenements  he  a  little  before  had  obtained  by  the 
gift  of  A.  de  Brom.  Furthermore  alfo  he  gave  them  the  advowfon  of  St.  Mary's 
Church  in  Oxford,  conditionally,  that  they  Ihould  find  four  Chaplains  to  ce- 
lebrate fervice  in  the  faid  church  every  day  for  ever.  And  that  alfo  the  num- 
ber of  Scholars  in  the  faid  Houfe  might  be  increafed,  he  then  granted  them, 
that  they  might  purchafe  lands  and  tenements  to  the  yearly  value  of  fixty 
pounds. 

Thus  far  King  Edward  If,  who  by  thefe  his  good  deeds  was  defervedly 
filled  and  written  the  Founder  of  the  Houfe  of  the  Virgin  Mary  in  Oxon. 
Afterwards  that  the  faid  Scholars  might  be  rightly  governed,  the  firft  Provoft 
Adam  de  Brom  gave  them  ftatutes  23  May  1326,  (confirmed  three  years  after 
by  Henry  Burgafh,  Bifliop  of  Lincoln)  wherein  among  feveral  things,  it  ap- 
pears that  he  appointed  to  be  always  maintained  in  the  College,  one  Provoft 
and  ten  Fellows  or  Scholars  ftudying  in  Divinity  ;  of  which  three  were  after- 
ward allowed  by  the  Vifitor  to  fVudy  the  Canon  Law  if  they  pleafed.  That 
being  done,  he  beftirred  himfelf  to  procure  other  maintenances  for  his  Scho- 
lars, left  (if  he  fhould  fuddenly  die)  they  might  be  left  deftitute  of  a  com- 
fortable fubfiftance.  The  firfl  therefore  about  that  time  which  he  obtained 
was  the  Church  of  Aberforth  in  Yorkfhire,  given  (7)  afterward  by  him  and 
one  Will.  Harlefton  (who  had  intereft  therein)  to  this  his  Houfe.  Then 
King  Edward  III,  who  beftowed(8)  on  them  a  large  mefTuage,  fituated 
for  the  moft  part  in  the  parifh  of  St.  John  Baptift,  then  commonly  called 
and  written  La  Oriole,  in  the  firft  year  of  his  reign,  Dom.  1327.  To  which,

.Scholars  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  (which  was  in  the  3d  of  Edw.  Ill)  granted  to 
him  by  Queen  Eiianor,  the  faid  Scholars  tranflated  themfelves,  leaving  their 
old  habitation,  then  called  Tackley's  Inn,  and  afterward  Bulkley  Hall,  to 
other  Scholars  of  the  Univerfity,  who  became  tenants  to  them. 

The  next  year  (1328)  the  faid  Adam  de  Brom  procured  of  the  King  the 
Hofpital  of  St.  Bartholomew  near  Oxford,  with  all  its  appurtenances,  to  be 
annexed  to  this  Houfe,  to  the  end  chiefly  that  the  Provoft  and  Scholars  of 
the  faid  Houfe  may  in  times  of  infedion,  and  when  peftilential  difeafes  be- 
cr'm  to  increafe,  retire  thereunto.  Which  Hofpital,  though  then  it  was  no 
great  Benefit  to  the  laid  Scholars,  yet  fince  the  aft  of  Provifions  for  the  Uni- 
verfities  was  made,  hath  been  a  convenient  addition  to  their  revenues. 

Thefe  were  all  the  incomes,  if  I  miilake  not,  that  the  King  and  Adam  de 
Brom  gave  and  procured;  for  whofe  benefaftion,  as  alfo  for  that  of  Ed- 
ward III  and  of  Henry  Burgash,  Biihop  of  Lincoln,  (the  laft  of  which 
appropriated  the  Church  of  St.  Mary  to  the  ufe  of  the  faid  Scholars)  were 
two  Students  of  this  Houfe  that  were  priefts,  or  elfe  two  Chaplains  whom 
the  College  Ihould  appoint,  ordered  (10)  to  celebrate  mafs  at  certain  times 
for  the  w^elfare  and  good  eftate  of  Sir  Robert  Burgafli  and  Mawde  his  Wife, 
parents  of,  and  for  Robert  and  Stephen,  brethren  to,  the  faid  Bifhop  ;  for 
which  fervices  the  faid  Priefts  or  Chaplains  were  to  receive  eighteen  fhil- 
Jings  yearly,  befides  what  they  could  get  from  the  good  will  of  others. 


BENEFACTORS. 

AS  for  thofe  Benefa<5lors,  that  have  either  given  Fellowfliips  or  Scholar- 
fliips,  1  fliall  in  order  recite.     The  firft,  as  I  conceive,  was 

John  Franke,  Clerk,  Mafter  or  Keeper  of  the  Rolls  in  Chancery,  and 
afterwards  Keeper  of  the  Great  Seal,  temp.  Hen.  VI,  who  dying  in  the  19th 
year  of  the  faid  King's  reign,  or  thereabouts,  ordered  that  his  executors 
fhould  pay  out  of  his  goods  and  revenues  loool.  to  this  place,  to  purchafe 
lands  for  the  maintenance  of  four  Fellows  of  the  Counties  of  Somerfet,  Dor- 
fct,  Wilts,  and  Devon.  Which  money  being  paid,  was  bought  by  them  of 
the  King  the  reverfion  of  Wadley  Manor  in  Berkfhire,  then  poflefTed  for 
term  of  life  by  John  Norrys  and  Alice  his  wife.  Out  of  the  revenues  of 
which,  befides  the  maintenance  of  four  Fellows,  the  College  was  to  pay 
twelve  marks  yearly  to  the  prieft  of  the  Chantry  in  the  Church  of  Trent  in 
Somerfetfhire,  (the  native  place  of  the  Benefactor)  which  Chantry  was  or- 
dered by  the  will  of  the  Benefactor  to  be  founded,  and  this  College  to  be 
perpetual  patrons  thereof. 

John  Carpenter,  firft  Fellow,  then  Provoft  of  this  Houfe,  and  at  length 
Billiop  of  Worcefter,  gave  in  his  laft  will  lands  in  Oxfordfhire  for  the  main-

to  fix  poor  Scholars,  after  the  rate  of  eighrpence  a  week,  to  be  paid  by  the 
Provoft  and  Fellows,  who  were  to  receive  the  faid  money  from  St.  Anthony's 
Hofpital  in  London  (of  which  che  faid  Benefador  had  been  Mafler.)  But 
that  Hofpital  (12)  being  afterward  annexed  to  the  Collegiate  Church  of  St. 
George  in  Windfor,  the  faid  Provolt  and  Fellows  received  it  thence.  He 
alfo  gave  (13)  Bedell  Hall,  an  ancient  receptacle  for  Scholars,  fituated 
between  St.  Marys  Hall  on  the  north,  and  the  garden  belonging  to  this 
College  on  the  South  :  For  which  benefadlion  the  faid  donor,  together  with 
Mr.  Henry  Sampfon  of  this  Houfe,  Executor  to  the  faid  Biihop,  had  a  Com- 
memoration (14)  with  a  Placebo  andDirige  celebrated  for  them  on  the  feaft 
of  1 1000  Virgins  by  the  Students  of  this  place  ;  to  which  lervice  the  Scho- 
lars of  Bedell  Hall  were  bound  to  be  prefent. 

William  Smyth,  Bifhop  of  Lincoln,  the  worthy  Founder  of  Brafenofe 
College,  gave  300I.  to  purchafe  lands  for  the  maintenance  of  one  Fellow^ 
fuccefllvely  to  be  chofen  out  of  the  Diocefe  of  Lincoln,  &c.  1507. 

Richard  Dudley,  D.  D.  fometime  Fellow  of  this  Houfe,  afterwards 
Chancellor  of  the  Church  of  Salifbury,  gave  a  certain  Manor  near  Bath,  cal-

John  Jackman,  M.  A.  fometime  Fellow,  gave  to  the  College  his  houfe

fuages  were  purchafed  that  laid  on  the  north  fide  of  the  laid  Hall,  the  So- 
ciety began  to  frame  their  edifices  into  a  quadrangular  pile  about  the  latter 
cnd'of  K.  Edward  III,  partly  with  their  own,  and  partly  with  the  money  of 
certain  Benefatflors.  Which  buildings  being  eredled  at  feveral  times,  fome 
of  ftone,  and  others  of  timber  and  plaifter,  continued  for  the  moft  part  till 
an.  1620  •»  and  then  the  fouth  part  and  molt  of  the  weft  fide  were  pulled

Library.  As  for  the  Library,  which  ftood  on  the  eaft  fide  of  the  old 
quadrangle,  was  built  about  the  year  1444;  to  the  eredion  of  which  Mr. 
1'ho.  Gascoigne,  D.  D.  and  Commoner  fometime  of  this  Houfe,  (36)  gave 
five  marks,  befides  feveral  volumes  to  be  chained  therein  for  the  ufe  of  the 
Students  in  the  faid  College.    What  Library  they  had  before  I  find  none :

for  their  books,  given  by  fome  of  the  Provofts  and  Fellows,  with  others  that 
had  been  fometime  of  the  Univerfity,  (namely  Simon  Bredon,  William 
Rede,  (37)  &c.)  were  repofed  in  Chefts,  and  by  the  Fellows  of  the  Houfe 
were  borrowed  thence  upon  certain  pledges  given  in  to  the  keepers  of  them. 
Adam  de  Brom  gave  to  his  Scholars  books  to  the  value  of  50/.  which  he 
had  bought  of  the  executors  of  Thomas  Cobham,  Bifhop  of  Worceiler: 
which  Bifhop  had  bequeathed  them  to  his  Library  on  the  north  fide  of  St. 
Mary's  Chancel,  for  the  ufe  of  the  Univerfity,  in  cafe  his  debts  and  funeral 
expences  could  be  cleared  without  the  fale  of  them,  but  being  they  could 
not  (as  the  executors  pretended)  Adam  de  Brom  bought  them  for  the  ufe  of 
his  Scholars  of  the  Houfe  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  as  is  before  mentioned. 
Which  books,  after  they  had  laid  for  fome  time  in  Chefts  in  their  pofTeflion, 
the  Scholars  of  the  Univerfity  took  them  away  by  force,  and  carried  them 
to  the  faid  Library  of  Thomas  Cobham,  where  they  remained  till  their 
tranflation  to  Duke  Humphry's  Library  :  fo  that  they  being  deprived  of 
their  books  (I  fpeak  all  this  from  their  (38)  Declaration  in  defence  of  them- 
felves  againft  the  Univerfity's  right  to  them)  they  had  no  confiderable  num- 
ber till  their  Library  before  mentioned  was  built.  To  which,  when  finifhed, 
Mr,  Hen.  Sampson,  Mr,  Thom.  Hawkyns,  Mr.  John  Taylour,  Mr. 
James  More,  Provofts,  and  feveral  of  their  ancient  Fellows  gave  books. 
So  that  the  faid  Library  continuing  till  an.  1637,  was  then  pulled  down, 
and  this  that  now  is  on  the  north  fide  of  the  quadrangle  in  the  third  ftory, 
was  afterwards  built;  for  the furnilhing  of  which  with  pews  or  ftudies,  Mr, 
Edward  Comb,  fometime  Fellow  (who  died  1629)  left  looL 


Chapel.  As  for  the  places  wherein  the  Society  have  celebrated  fervice, 
have  been  firft'in  St.  Mary's  parifli  Church,  which  proving  troublefome  to 
the  Scholars,  as  alfo  very  inconvenient,  becaufe  of  the  daily  and  fometimes 
hourly  meetings  there  of  the  Univerfity,  they  obtained  (39)  licence  of  John 
[Bokyngham]  Biftiop  of  Lincoln,  2  March  1372,  to  celebrate  divine  offices 
in  a  Chapel  in  the  faid  College,-  "  conftruda  vel  conftruenda  -,"  for  then,  as 
it  plainly  appears,  Richard  Earl  ofARUNDELL  had  at  his  own  charges 
begun  and  pretty  well  carried  on  a  Chapel  on  the  fouth  fide  of  the  College ; 
but  being  not  in  a  capacity  to  fee  the  work  ended,  becaufe  taken  off  by  civil 
affairs,  his  fon  Thomas  Arundell,  B.fhop  of  Ely,  (fometime  a  Student  in 
this  Houfe)  finifhed  it,  and  made  it  complete  for  ufe.  (40)  So  that  whether  the 
Society  made  advantage  of  the  former  Licenfe,  becaufe  the  Chapel  was  not 
finifhed  till  feveral  years  after  it  was  granted,  feems  to  me  not,  forafmuch  as 
ihey  obtained  (41 )  another  Licence  from  the  Bifhop  of  Lincoln,  dated  3  Dec. 
1437,  whereby  it  was  granted  to  the  Scholars  of  St.  Mary  of  Oriel,  that  they

down  to  make  room  for  the  raifing  of  the  fouth  fide  of  the  prefent  quadran-

to  be  in  a  large  room  on  the  north  fide  of  the  quadrangle.  Which  room 
being  ufed  by  them  till  the  year  1642,  this  Chapel  that  now  is,  {landing  be-

VI.      Q^U  EEN'S      COLLEGE. 

HAVING  concluded  what  I  haVe  to  fay  of  Oriel,  I  mufl:  proceed  to 
fpeak  of  Queen's  College,  ficuated  in  the  parifh  of  St.  Peter  in  the  eaft, 
and  near  to  the  Church  thereof.  The  Founder  was  one  Robert  de  Egles- 
FELD  of  the  county  of  Cumberland,  Bachelor  of  Divinity  (as  'tis  faidj  of  this 
Univerfity,  Chaplain  to  Philippa,  the  wife  of  K.  Edward  III,  and  Reftor  of 
tlie  church  of  Burgh  under  Staynefmore  in  Weftmoreland. 

He,  it  feems,  beholding  the  encouragement  due  to  the  men  of  his  country 
to  be  wanting  in  this  Univerfity,  and  that  no  place  had  been  yet  defigned 
for  them  •,  did,  for  that  reafon,  and  for  the  propagation  of  good  letters,  ex- 
tend his  charity  fo  far  (encouraged  therein  by  the  Qiieen)  as  to  purchafe  for 
them  feveral  tenements  in  the  faid  parifh  of  St.  Peter,  wherein  for  the  pre- 
fent  time  they  might  live,  and  afterward  when  others  were  bought  in,  build 
an  Hall  or  College  thereon. 

The  firft  that  was  purchafed  was  that  (i)  with  its  appurtenances  of  the 
Mailer  and  Scholars  of  Univerfity  Hall,  fituated  between  the  tenement  of 
Margaret  the  daughter  of  Philip  de  Stockwell,  (lately  the  wife  of  Thomas 
de  Wynnefbury)  on  the  eaft,  and  a  tenement  (2)  of  Ofney  Abbey  on  the 
weft,  19  May,  i4Edw.  Ill,  Dom.  1340.  The  next  were  two  Selds  (3)  of 
John  de  la  Chaumbre  of  Oxford,  Lockyer,  lying  between  the  tenement  of 
the  Hofpital  of  St.  John  Baptift  in  Oxford  on  the  [North]  fide,  and  the  te- 
nement fometime  of  Richard  de  Beflingby  on  the  [fouth,]  14  June,  14 
Edw.  III.  The  third  tenement  was  bought  (4)  of  Mr.  Richard  de  Eveftiam, 
Clerk,  known  before  by  the  name  of  Temple  Hall,  which  then  laid  between 
the  tenement  of  Ofney  [called  Dendamour  halle]  on  the  fouth  fide,  and  [a

After  the  grant  of  the  faid  licenfe,  he  fettled  in  the  faid  melTuage  (probably 
Temple  Hall)  a  Provoft  and  twelve  Fellows  or  Scholars  ;  who,  though  they 
were  not  all  his  countrymen  (perhaps  in  defedl  of  fuch  that  were  of  abilities 
in  the  Univerfity)  yet  their  fucceflbrs  for  the  moft  part  were,  and  are,  or 
fhould  be,  fo  ftill,  of  Cumberland  and  Weftmoreland.  Thofe  that  he  firft 
of  all  appointed  in  this  his  hall  or  College,  were  thel'e  following:  (8) 

The  Provoll  was  Mr.  Richard  de  Rctteford,  Profeffor  or  Doctor  of  Di- 
vinity, fometime  of  Balliol  College. 

The  Fellows  or  Scholars  were-,  i.  Mr.  William  de  Cundale.  2.  Mr.  Wil- 
liam de  Hawkelworth  of  Baliol  College,  afterward  third  Provoft  of  Oriel 
Hall.  3.  Mr.  William  de  Palmorna  of  Stapledon  Hall,  alias  Exeter  Col- 
lege, afterward  Chancellor  of  the  Univerfity  of  Oxon.  4.  Mr.  William  de 
Colyngham  of  Merton  College.  5.  Mr.  Thorn,  de  Trumfhagh  (9).  6.  Mr. 
John  de  Dumbleton.  (9*)  7.  Mr.  William  de  Renham  of  Merton  College. 
8.  Mr.  Robert  de  Hardley  of  the  fame  College.  9.  Mr.  William  de  Heigh- 
tilbury  (10)  of  Merton  College.  10.  Mr.  Reynold  de  Stratton.  11.  Mr. 
William  de  Wantyng  of  Merton  College.  12.  Mr.  Hugh  de  Mollyngton; 
of  the  diocefes  of  Carlifle,  York,  Lincoln,  Norwich,  Worceller,  Salift^ury, 
Hereford,  and  Exeter. 

To  thefe,  which  he  inftituted  in  reference  to  Chrift  and  his  tv/elve  Apo- 
ftles,  the  Founder  intended  to  add  feventy  poor  young  men,  with  reference 
to  the  feventy  dilciples,  to  be  nurfed  up  and  educated  in  good  arts  and 
fciences,  to  fupply  the  Fellows'  places  when  they  fhould  become  void.  Them 
alfo  he  intended  to  have  been  fummoned  to  refedion,  asitelkwhere  appears,

by  the  found  of  a  trumpet ;  and  the  Fellows  on  the  one  fide  of  the  table  in 
robes  of  fcarlet,  (the  Doftors  in  Divinity  and  Decrees  to  have  them  faced 
with  black  furs)  to  oppofe  in  philofophy  the  poor  Scholars,  kneeling  on  the 
other  fide  •,  but  he  dying  immaturely,  left  the  faid  defign  very  imperfed:. 
As  for  the  formality  of  fcarlet  it  continued  many  years,  till  the  charge 
thereof,  and  trouble  in  wearing  it  at  times  of  refedion,  caufed  it  to  be  laid 
afide-,  but  as  for  the  oppofing  of  the  poor  Scholars,  (or  Children  as  they 
are  called)  which  are  but  very  few  confidering  the  Founder's  intention,  conti- 
nueth  to  this  day. 

Now  that  the  faid  Scholars  and  their  fucceflbrs  might  be  equally  governed, 
and  each  know  his  duty  what  to  do,  the  Founder  gave  them  Statutes  under 
his  own  hand  and  feal,  dated  at  Oxford,  lo  Feb.  1340.  Therein,  among 
feveral  things,  I  find  that  the  Provolt  is  to  be  always  elefted  from  the  num- 
ber of  Fellows,  and  to  be  one  of  the  clergy,  or  in  orders.  The  Fellows 
(who  are  to  increafe  and  decreafe  as  the  revenues  of  the  College  do)  are  to  be 
of  the  counties  of  Cumberland  and  Weftmoreland,  and  chiefly  thofe  of  the 
Founder's  kindred,  if  any  fuch  there  be,  he  being  brother  to  John  de  Egles- 
feld,  who  was  his  heir,  and  both  the  fons  of  John  de  Eglesfeld  and  Beatrice 
his  wife,  and  grandfons  of  Tho.  de  Eglesfeld  and  Hawifia  his  wife.

After  this  the  Founder,  as  long  as  he  lived,  which  was  till  the  2nd  of  the

fouth,  eaft  and  weft  fide,  (19)  21  Edw.  III.  Which  tenements  (with  two 
other,  ftanding  without  the  prefent  limits  of  the  College)  being  by  him  thus 
procured,  K.  Edw.  Ill,  upon  the  faid  Founder's  petition,  confirmed  (20)  the 
faid  College  or  Hall  (of  his  Queen,  as  he  ftileth  it)  to  the  Scholars  thereof, 
and  their  fucceflbrs  for  ever,  in  the  21ft  year  of  his  reign,  Dom.  1347.  After 
his  death  the  Society  obtained  two  more  tenements  contiguous  to  thole  two 
beforementioned  without  the  limits  of  the  College,  that  is  to  fay,  one  (21)' 
of  John  Eglesfeld,  brother  and  heir  to  the  Founder,  29  Edw.  Ill  j  and  the 
other  (22)  from  the  Prior  and  Convent  of  St.  Fridefwyde  28  Edw.  III.  All 
which  were  afterward  pulled  down  by  the  Society  to  the  end  that  they  might 
build,  and  enlarge  the  fite  of  their  College. 

Furthermore  alfo  upon  the  Founder's  defire,  the  King  did  not  only  give 
(23)  to  him  and  his  College  the  advowfon  of  Blechingdon  (24)  church  in 
com.  Oxon.  9  July  an.  reg.  17  (which  before  came  into  the  hands  of  Hen.

Hofpital,  commonly  called  God's  Houfe,  in  Southampton,  (the  Founder  be-

BENEFACTORS. 

BESIDES  the  gifts  of  K.  Edward  before  mentioned,  I  find  (28)  that  at  the 
requeft  of  Queen  Philippa  his  confort,  he  beftowed  the  advowfon  of  the 
Church  of  Burgh  under  Staynefmore  in  Weftmoreland,  23  July  1341.  And 
at  the  fame  time  gave  leave  to  the  Provoft  and  Scholars  that  they  might  ap- 
propriate the  faid  Church,  to  the  end  that  with  the  revenues  thereof  fix  Scho- 
lar-Chaplains might  be  added  to  the  former  number. 

Queen  Philippa  alfo  gave  (29)  an  yearly  rent  of  twenty  marks  for  the 
fuftenance  of  thefe  her  Scholars,  to  be  received  from  the  hands  of  her  re-

hold  in  Berklliire,  which  he  held  of  the  King  in  capite,  &c.  16  Edw.  Ill,  or

Hall  or  Refectory  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  quadrangle,  was  built  about 
the  fame  time  that  the  Chapel  was,  viz.  foon  after  the  foundation  of  the

4/.  given  (96)  thereunto  by  Mr.  John  Wharton,  Fellow  of  this  College,  in

the  benefactors  of  this  houfe,  moftly  done  (as  I  conceive)  by  Dr.  Rob.  Lang-

Library.  Of  this  place  (which  (lands  in  the  little  quadrangle  or  court 
at  the  well  end  of  the  Chapel)  I  find  no  mention  either  when  it  was  built, 
repaired,  or  who  were  benefactors  anciently  thereunto,  only  lb  far  that  Mr. 
Wharton,  before  mentioned,  bought  a  meffuage  with  a  cottage  annexed,  at 
the  weft  end  of  the  Chapel,  which  haply  was  to  make  room  either  for  the 
building  the  outer  Chapel,  orelfe  this  Library.  Howfoever  it  is,  I  am  certain 
that  feveral  perfons  gave  books  to  the  College  without  any  mention  made  of 
having  them  repofed  in  the  Library  :  which  makes  me  think  that  they  were 
put  into  Chefts,  according  to  the  manner  before  the  invention  of  deiks  or 
pews  came  up.  (97)  Mr,  Simon  de  Bredon,  an  eminent  Mathematician, 
Canon  of  the  Cathedral  of  Chichefter,  Reftor  of  Bydingdon,  and  Warden  of 
Maidftone  Hofpital,  gave  in  his  will  (98)  to  this  College,  an.  1372,  feveral 
books  of  Aftronomy  and  Mathematics.  Mr.  William  Rede,  Bifhop  of  Chi- 
chefter, gave  ten  books  (99)  an.  1382,  befide  10/.  and  a  filver  Chalice  for 
the  College.  Mr.  Roger  Cotyngham  before  mentioned,  all  (100)  his  books 
at  the  time  of  his  death.  Mr.  R.  Whelpdale  a  confiderable  number  (loi) 
an.  1422.  All  which,  with  many  others,  were  without  doubt  kept  in  Chefts 
till  the  Library  was  built.  What  I  have  to  fay  of  this  place  (not  that  I 
fhall  take  notice  of  divers  benefactors  fince)  is,  that  all  that  maketh  for  the 
antiquity  of  this  Library  is  the  efBgies  of  a  man  kneeling,  in  a  purple  gown 
in  the  Ibuth  window,  v/ith  the  crown  of  his  head  tonfured,  who  probably 
gave  in  his  lifetime,  or  bequeathed  at  his  death,  monies  for  the  building  or 
repairing  of  this  place.     The  infcription  under  him  runs  thus :

Of  which  Robert  you  may  fee  more  in  the  Annals  under  the  year  1379. 

The  foundation  of  a  new  Library  was  laid  on  the  north  fide,  and  beyond 
the  College,  in  May  1692  ;  the  Society  having  then  lately  received  moft  of 
the  Library  of  Dr.  Barlow,  Biftiop  of  Lincoln,  decealed.  The  outfide  was 
finifhed  by  the  end  of  1694. 

[This  new  Library  was  built  by  Timothy  Halton,  fometime  Provoft, 
a  great  part  at  his  own  expence  :  He  alio  gave  his  ftudy  of  books.  (103)

Gent.  Commoners  of  this  Houfe,  1763.  And  a  Caft  in  plaifter  of  Paris  of  the 
Florentine  Boar,  prefented  to  the  Society  by  Sir  Roger  Nezvdigate^  Bart. 
D.  C.  L.  and  fometime  one  of  the  Reprefentatives  in  Parliament  for  this 
Univerfity.] 

Chapel.  Concerning  a  Chape!  or  place  in  this  Houfe  where  the  Society 
might  celebrate ferv ice,  I  find  thefe  matters  following: 

1.  That  the  Founder  being  willing  to  have  a  Chapel  in  this  College  while 
he  lived,  fupplicated  Pope  Clement  VI  for  leave  to  build  one,  which  being 
granted,  the  faid  Pope  fent  his  Bull  (104)  to  the  Archbifhop  of  Canterbury, 
dated  4th  cal.  of  May  an.  Pontif.  i  j  that  he  give  way  for  the  building  of 
one  for  the  Scholars  of  Queen's  College;  viz.  "  Cujufdam  Collegii  (as  he 
words  it)  eminentis  numeri  Magiftrorum,  Studentium  et  Capellanorum,  &c. 

2.  That  being  done,  the  King,  upon  the  defireof  his  Confort  Q^  Philippa, 
granted  (105)  leave  to  the  Provoft  and  Scholars,  that  they  migfit  build  a 
Chapel  within  the  limits  of  their  Hall  or  College,  to  the  end  that  they  might 
pray  for  the  good  eftate  of  him  the  faid  King,  his  Queen,  and  all  his  children, 
for  his  predcceflbrs  and  heirs,  and  for  the  benefadlors  to  the  College.  At 
the  fame  time  alfo  (this  being  granted  28  Jan.  1348)  the  faid  King  gave 
leave  to  John  de  Stowford  before  mentioned,  that  he  might  give  to  the  Prior 
and  Convent  of  St.  Fridefwyde's  the  Advowfon  of  the  Church  of  Shaw 
(which  was  taxed  at  fix  marks  and  an  half,  and  held  of  the  King  in  capite) 
with  this  condition,  that  they  the  faid' Prior  and  Convent  would  grant  to  the 
Provoft  and  Scholars  certain  plots  of  ground  contiguous  to  their  habitation, 
to  the  end  that  a  Chapel  might  be  built  on  them. 

3.  That  Mr.  William  Mufchamp  beforementioned  (who  died  1355)  built 
(106)  a  great  part  of  the  Chapel. 

4.  That  Pope  Urban  (the  Vth  I  think)  (107)  granted  to  the  Provoft  and 
Fellows  cal.  Feb.  an.  Pontif.  2  ;  that  whereas  there  was  neither  Church  nor 
Chapel  built  within  their  Houfe,  wherein  they  might  celebrate  divine  fervice, 
they  might  build  one  tathe  honour  of  God,  the  blefled  Virgin  Mary,  and 
All  Saints. 

5.  That  Mr.  Roger  de  Cotyngham,  v/ho  was  Fellow  of  this  Houfe  in  the 
reign  of  K.  Rich.  II,  gave  monies  (108)  towards  the  engraving  and  adorning 
it  with  fculpture. 

6.  That  Richard  Flemmyng,  Biftiop  of  Lincoln  (of  which  diocefe  Oxford 
was  in  his  time  a  member)  did  commiflionate  (109)  Rog.  Whclpdale,  Bi- 
ftiopof  Garlifle,  to  eonfecrate  the  faid  Chapel  and  altars  therein  &c.  17  Dec

was  an  inftrument  drawn  up  by  che  liand  of  a  public  Notary,  and  left  in  the 
cuftody  of  the  Frovoft  and  Fellows  for  a  perpetual  memory  of  that  fadt. 

To  which  Chapels  or  Chapel,  (landing on  the  fouth  fide  of  the  quadrangle, 
Mr.  Roger  de  Cotyngham,  ( r  1 1 )  before  mentioned,  gave  divers  filken  clothes 
for  the  adorning  of  the  veilments.  Bifliop  Whelpdile  (112)  a  veftment

25  Jan.  1422.  John  Kirkby  before  mentioned  (113)  gave  four  veftments, 
befides  other  gifts,  temp.  Hen.  VII.  Thomas  Langton,  Bifhop  of  Winche-

gave  (116)  a  fuit  of  veftments  of  crimfon  velvet,  with  three  copes  of  the 
fame  to  the  value  of  40/.  Laftly,  among  feveral  other  Benefadors  was  Rob. 
Langton,  LL.  D.  who  in  the  year  1518  built  the  outer  Chapel  as  it  now 
ftands.  As  for  the  inner  'twas  wainfcotted  an.  1631,  and  two  years  after  had 
the  upper  end  floored  with  black  and  white  marble,  and  in  an.  1636  the 
windows  were  adorned  with  painted  glafs,  exquifitely  done  (if  I  miftake  not) 
by  the  hand  of  Abraham  Van-Lyng,  a  Dutchman. 

In  the  Inner  Chapel. 

On  a  brafs  plate  fixed  to  the  fouth  wall  is  the  effigies  of  a  [Bifhop  in  his

VII.     NEW     COLLEGE. 

BEFORE  I  come  to  fpeak  of  the  Foundation  of  this  College,  I  fliall 
mention  fome  things  of  the  worthy  Founder  thereof. 

He  therefore  (to  pafs  by  the  falfe  and  fcandalous  (i)  report  of  Dr.  Lon- 
don, fometime  Warden  of  this  College,  concerning  him  and  his  parentage) 
known  commonly  by  the  name  of  William  of  Wykeham,  was  born  (2;  in 
the  county  of  Southampton  an.  1324.  His  parents  names  were  John  and 
Sybill,  but  as  for  the  firname  of  the  former,  divers  authors  differ  about  it, 
as  they  do  about  the  firname  of  him  we  are  now  fpeaking.  John  Leland 
(3)  firnames  them  (efpecially  the  fon)  Perott  -,  Nich.  Harpesfield,  an  eminent 
hiftorian,  and  fometime  Fellow  of  this  Houfe,  Wicam,  and  others  Long. 
The  firft  was  his  original  name,  becaufe  his  Father's  was  fo,  the  fecond  he 
took  from  the  place  of  his  birth,  and  the  third  from  his  ftature  :  and  as  it 
has  been  obferved,  it  was  nothing  more  common  than  for  Clergymen  (nay, 
and  for  Laics  too)  to  take  their  names  from  the  places  of  their  birth, 
and  others  alfo  (or  elfe  given  to  them)  from  their  propernefs  or  defeds  of 
body,  as  Long,  Short,  Cromp,  &c.  common  names  then  and  in  thefe  times. 

Which  of  thefe  firnames,  authors  that  are  the  ancientefl,  acknowledge  is 
Long.  Robert  Heers  of  this  Houfe,  at  or  within  few  years  after  the  death 
of  the  Founder,  in  his  little  treatife  concerning  his  life,  (4)  which  he,  toge- 
ther with  the  book  of  Statutes,  gave  to  Winchefter  College,  delivereth  of 
his  pedigree  to  this  effecft.  William  Stratton  begat  of  Amicia,  daughter  of 
the  Lord  of  Stratton,  near  Selborne,  four  fons,  namely,  Richard,  Stephen, 
Robert,  and  John,  who  all  died  without  iflue.  Befides  thefe  he  begat  of 
her  three  daughters,  Alice,  Julian  and  Eleanor.  Alice  was  taken  to  wife 
by  John  Bowade,  of  whom  he  begat  a  daughter  named  Sybill,  who  was  af- 
terward married  to  John  Long,  from  which  John  and  Sybill  came  William, 
who  was  afterward  Bifhop  of  Winchefter,  alfo  a  daughter  named  Agnes, 
Who  had  a  daughter  by  her  hulband  called  Alice,  that  was  married  to  Wil- 
liam Perott,  from  which  William  and  Alice  defcended  three  fons,  cftriftened 
by  the  names  of  William,  John,  and  Thomas.  The  laft  was  firnamed 
Wykeham,  and  took  to  his  wife  the  daughter  of  William  Wilkenis  Efq.  of 
whom  were  begotten  fons  and  daughters.  Thus  R.  Heers,  feconded  by 
certain  Heralds-,  whereby  it  appears  that  the  firname  of  Perott  is  not  allowed

Others  there  are  that  deny  the  name  of  Long,  and  allow  only  Wykeham, 
as  being  not  only  born  at  that  place  in  Hamplhire,  but  alfo  delcended  from 
fuch  a  name  that  had  anciently  inhabited  there,  or  in  thofe  parts,  as  parti-

of  this  College,  W.  de  Wykeham.  And  without  doubt  had  his  name  been 
Perott  or  Long,  he  would  have  fued  out  his  pardon  by  either  of  thofe

William 


NEW      COLLEGE. 


173 


William  de  Wykeham  was  bred  up  in  the  rudiments  of  grammar  among 
feveral  children  of  quality  at  Winchefter,  by  the  care  and  charge  of 'one  Sir 
Nicholas  Wodall,  or  (9)  Udall  of  Wykeham,  Kt.  (10)  From  thence  he  went 
to  the  Univerfity  of  Oxford,  (11)  where  in  his  firft  years  he  ftudied  Logic, 
Mathematics,  and  Arithmetic,  and  afterward,  that  which  he  chiefly  aimed 
at,  the  Civil  Law.  In  the  Mathematics  he  heard  Lewis  Charlton,  (bro- 
ther to  Humphry  Charlton,  Chancellor  of  this  Univerfity)  afterward  Bi- 
fhop  of  Hereford,  and  in  the  Civil  Law  William  de  Drogheda,  (as  'tis  by 
one  (12)  reported,  notwithftanding  it  partly  appears  elfewhere  that  the  faid 
Drogheda  lived  in  the  century  beforegoing)  who  among  feveral  books 
that  he  wrote  was  one  intituled  De  judiciorum  ordine. 

About  that  time  W.  de  Wykeham,  by  the  commendatory  letters  of  Sir 
Nich.  Udall,  became  familiar  with  two  great  perfons  here  in  Oxford,  namely, 
William  Courtney,  and  John  Bokyngham,  very  well  feen  in  the  Canon  Law 
and  Divinity.  The  former  was  afterward  Chancellor  of  Oxford  and  Arch- 
bifhop  of  Canterbury,  the  other  Archdeacon  of  Northampton,  and,  as  fome 
fay,  Bifhop  of  Lincoln. 

After  he  had  fpent  five  years  and  an  half  in  Oxford,  he  was  called  away 
by  his  Patron  Sir  N.  UdalJ,  at  that  time  Conftable  of  Winchefter  Caftle, 
and  Lieutenant  of  the  county  of  Southampton  ;  where  applying  himfelf  to 
his  fervice,  and  afTifting  him  in  his  affairs,  efpecially  in  writing  and  difpatch- 
ing  away  letters  to  the  King's  Council  and  feveral  of  the  Nobles,  acquired 
to  himfelf  great  fame  and  repute,  and  that  not  ordinary,  if  you  confider  the 
immaturity  of  his  years.  In  the  faid  employment  he  behaved  himfelf  with 
fb  great  prudence  and  difcretion,  that  he  was  not  only  thought  worthy  to 
"undergo  the  office  of  Secretary  to  his  patron,  but  to  other  more  worthy 
perfons,  as  it  afterward  in  a  (hort  time  came  to  pafs,  when  he  was  received 
into  the  retinue  of  W^illiam  Edyngdon,  Bilhop  of  Winchefter,  Lord  Trea- 
furer  afterward  to  the  King. 

In  thefe  employments  he  continued  for  fome  time.  At  length  when 
K.  Edward  III  came  from  Portfmouth  to  Winchefter  (where  he  made  his 
abode  fome  days)  taking  then  great  deHght  in  him,  as  well  from  the  come- 
linefs  of  his  pertbn  as  commendations  which  Sir  Nicholas  then  (13)  gave 
him  of  his  ingenious  parts,  beftowed  (14)  preferment  on  him-,  among  which 
was  the  office  of  Overfeer  of  the  Caftles  of  Windfor,  Ledes,  Dover,  and

Hadley,  (15^  and  of  feveral  of  his  Manors.  (16)  After  this,  having  per- 
formed his  truft  in  them  without  any  fault,  grew  much  in  the  King's  fa- 
vour, and  quickly  reaped  thofe  fruits  that  the  fmiles  of  princes  are  wont 
to  afford. 

A  prieft  he  was  not  as  yet ;  therefore  the  King,  who  knew  that  greater 
and  better  preferments  belonged  to  that  funflion  than  the  employment  that 
he  followed,  commanded  him  to  take  the  priefthood  on  him  j  (17)  which 
being  no  fooner  obeyed,  an.  1361,  was  lirft  made  Re6tor  of  St.  Martin's  in 
London,  then  Dean  of  St.  Martin's  le  Grand,  Archdeacon  fucceflively 
of  Lincoln,  Northampton,  and  Buckingham,  (18)  with  divers  other  promo- 
tions ;  among  which  was  a  Prebendfhip  in  the  Collegiate  Church  of  Be- 
verly, and  another  called  Laghton  in  the  Church  of  York.  (19) 

At  length  he  became  Bilhop  of  Winchefter,  an.  1367,  (20)  and  fuddenly 
after,  viz.  17  Sept.  1368,  confirmed  Chancellor  of  England ;  (21)  but  that 
office  he  kept  fcarce  four  years;  for  in  the  beginning  of  1372  (22)  it  ap- 
pears that  he  delivered  up  the  great  feal  to  the  King  at  Weftminfter,  which 
was  forthwith  delivered  to  Sir  Rob.  de  Thorp,  Kt.  As  concerning  his  Bi- 
fhopric,  it  is  delivered  (23)  by  hiftorians,  (24)  that  when  he  was  a  fuitorfor 
it,  the  King  fhould  fay  that  he  was  not  a  fit  Clerk,  to  which  he  anfwered, 
that  though  he  was  not  fit  and  learned  enough  for  it,  yet  by  the  enjoyment 
of  it  he  might  be  a  means  whereby  feveral  may  become  learned,  and  brought 
up  in  Arts  and  Sciences,  &c.  intimating  by  thofe  words  of  doing  fomething 
beneficial  to  the  realm  and  clergy.  But  this  (if  it  be  true)  was  more  his  mo- 
defty  at  that  time  to  give  fuch  an  anfwer  than  otherwife,  it  being  then  very 
well  known  to  many,  that  he  was,  according  to  the  age  he  lived  in,  not 
meanly  learned,  witnefs  his  book,  written  in  a  very  good  method,  for  the

reforming  orthe  Monks  of  the  Church  of  Winchefler,  which  were  then  in

After  he  was  Bifhop,  he  was  trufted  with  all  the  weighty  affairs  of  the 
realm,  difpofed  of  the  king's  money,  and  governed  all  things  at  his  pieafure. 
Nothing  pafled  but  he  had  a  finger  in  it,  or  elfe  at  leait  came  to  his  know- 
ledge. But  fo  it  was,  that  the  favour  of  his  Prince  did  not  in  fometime  after 
fmile  on  him  in  that  meafure  as  before  ;  for  what  by  the  inftigation  of  fome 
of  his  enemies  to  the  King,  that  he  did  defraud  him  of  his  treafure,  and  that 
he  afted  many  things  under  hand,  he  was  deprived  of  his  temporalities,  and 
forbidden  to  come  near  the  Court.  The  manner  how  and  for  what  caufe 
this  happened  ;  and  to  what  ifTue  it  came,  I  fhould  here  recite,  but  it  being 
fo  commonly  handled  by  divers  hiftorians  already,  I  fhall  forbear  and 
proceed.  (25) 

_  After  two  years  (26)  deprivation  and  abfence,  he  was,  through  the  media- 
tion of  Alice  Piers,  (27)  a  gentlewoman  entirely  beloved  of  K.  Edw.  Ill  in 
his  laft  days,  reftored  to  all  again.  After  which  he  behaved  himfelf  fo  dif- 
creetly  in  that  dangerous  time,  when  fuch  private  hatred  and  emulation  paf- 
fed  between  the  king  and  his  nobles,  that  both  parties  feem.ed  to  approve  of 
him  before  another  in  his  place. 

Things  being  thus  fettled  with  him,  and  wealth  daily  increafing,  thoughts 
were  entertained  to  procure  to  himfelf  friends  of  the  unrighteous  Mammon. 
Wherefore  fettling  his  mind  on  Oxford  and  WInchefter,  the  two  places  of 
his  education,  refolved  by  God's  afliftance  to  found  in  the  faid  places  feme 
permanent  monuments  to  the  glory  of  God,  the  benefit  of  the  church,  and 
the  eternal  memory  of  his  own  name.  His  monument  at  Oxford,  New 
College,  (28)  fuppofedto  have  taken  its  name  from  an  ancient  Hoftle,  fome-

fion,  entered  into  the  fame  at  three  (30)  of  the  clock  in  the  morning,  28  Mar. 
1 393 ;  (3 1 )  of  which  College,  together  with  this  at  Oxford,  and  of  the  Foun- 
der of  them,  take  thefe  ancient  (32)  verfes  that  follow  :

At  Winchefl:er  he  appointed  the  number  of  an  hundred  and  five  perfons, 
viz.  one  Warden,  ten  Fellows  that  are  priefts,  three  Chaplains,  three  Clerks, 
fifteen  {^^)  Chorifliers,  who  are  daily  to  perform  divine  offices  in  the  Chapel

and  Fellows  by  eleftion  from,  and  the  Scholars  by  choice  and  approbation 
to,  the  faid  place.  What  his  benefadions  to  the  public  good  and  church 
were,  befides  the  former,  asalfo  his  charity  in  maintaining  fifty  (34)  Scholars 
at  Oxford  for  feven  years  fpace  before  his  College  was  founded  there,  I  need 
not  particularly  recount,  being  remembered  by  feveral  already.  So  many  were 
his  worthy  aftions,  both  public  and  private,  throughout  the  moft  part  of  the 
courfe  of  his  life,  treading  upon  his  heels  even  to  the  laft,  that  they  deferve

bequeathed  to  them  his  mitre,  paftoral  flafF,  white  veftments  (or  furplices) 
and  fandalls,  and  the  remainder  to  pious  and  good  ufes. 

So  much  concerning  the  moft  worthy  Founder  of  this  College.  In  the 
next  place  muft  be  remembered  the  foundation,  fettlement  and  ordering 
thereof.  He  therefore  had  not  been  Bifhop  fcarce  an  year,  but  thought  it 
high  time  to  perform  that  which  he  had  partly  before  promifed  to  the  King ; 
in  order  to  which  feleding  a  place  at  Oxford,  employed  fome  of  his  acquaint- 
ance to  purchaie  and  take  in  lands  and  tenements  whereon  his  College  might 
ftand. 

The  perfons  that  he  entrufted  in  this  matter  were  Mr.  John  de  Bokyng- 
ham,  Sir  Will,  de  Mullhoe,  and  Sir  John  de  Rofieby,  or  Rowceby,  Clerks  -, 
who  according  to  the  Founder's  mind,  firft  procured  (40)  of  the  Priory  of 
St.  Fridefwyde,  10  Feb.  44  Edw.  Ill,  Dom.  1369,  (being  the  fecond  year  of

College  corner  and  the  eaft  gate)  on  the  fouth.  All  which  void  plots  con- 
tained two  roods,  of  land.

King  or  the  Town  of  Oxford  as  to  the  fee-farm  thereof,  or  to  any  elfe,  if 
Will,  de  Wykeham,  Lord  Bifhop  of  Winchefter,  fhould  include  the  afore-' 
faid  lands,  and  others  which  he  was  about  to  procure  for  a  peculiar  ufe. 
Which  writ  being  received,  the  faid  John  Salvein  came  to  Oxford,  and  by 
virtue  thereof  fummoned  before  him,  in  the  prefence  of  John  Gibbes,  Mayor, 
John  Hicks,  and  Richard  de  Adyngton,  Bailiffs  of  Oxford,  twelve  honeft 
and  lawful  men  of  the  faid  place  to  make  enquiry  according  to  the  writ,  on 
the  Monday  before  the  nativity  of  St.  John  Baptift,  2  Rich.  II,  Dom.  1379. 

They  therefore  then  appearing  did,  after  confultation  had  among  them, 
(52)  pronounce  in  the  preience  of  all  then  prefent,  that  it  '  was  not  to  the 
-damage  or  prejudice  of  the  King  or  others,  or  diminution  of  the  farm  of  the 
town  of  Oxford,  or  to  the  nuifance  of  the  faid  Town,  if  thofe  plots  of  ground 
pbtained  of  Ofney  Abbey,  Queen's  College,  Nunnery  of  Godllow,  Pariihion- 
ers  of  St.  Peter's  in  the  eaft,  and  of  others  which  he  the  faid  Bifhop  was  about 
to  procure,  were  included  for  his  defign  and  purpofe,  notwiihftanding  the 
King  had  pardoned  Mr.  John  deBokyngham  and  John  de  Rouceby,  Clerks, 
for  procuring  the  faid  plots.' 

They  faid  alfo,  that  '  it  would  not  be  to  the  damage  of  the  King,  if  the 
faid  Bifhop  of  Winchefter  fhould  include  other  lands,  which  he  was  about  to 
acquire.  Among  which  were  feveral  plots  of  ground  belonging  to  the  Town 
of  Oxon,  and  a  common  lane,  in  which  alfo  they  had  intereft ;  fo  that  the 
Warden  and  Scholars  of  his  College,  forthwith  to  be  ordained,  bind  them- 
felves  and  fucceffors  to  keep  in  reparation  fo  much  of  the  north  and  eaft  wall 
of  the  faid  Town  that  fhould  include  the  faid  College-,  and  that  alfo  they  make 
a  gate  or  poftern  on  each  fide  of  the  faid  wall  at  the  extent  of  the  College  li- 
mits, to  the  end  that  the  Mayor  and  Bailiffs  of  Oxford  may  once  in  every 
three  years  enter  and  pafs  through  them,  to  fee  whether  the  faid  wall  be  kept  in 
a  competent  manner  of  reparation,  and  that  alfo  the  Commonalty  oi  the  faid 
Town  might  have  free  paffage  in  times  of  war  through  the  faid  pofterns  for 
the  defence  of  the  faid  Town'  (53). 

The  faid  jury  alfo  delivered,  that  '  the  faid  common  way,  or  lane,  and  plots 
of  ground  beforementioned,  and  others  which  the  Biftiop  of  Winchefter  was 
about  to  procure,  were  not  built  on  or  included  for  a  private  ufe,  but  were 
full  of  filth,  dirt,  and  ftinking  carcafes,  brought  from  feveral  places  in  the 
Town,  which  were  to  the  great  annoyance  of  the  Town,  and  Univerfiry  of 
Scholars,  and  to  the  detriment  of  all  men  that  paffed  that  way ;  and  that 
alfo  there  was  a  concourfe  of  malefadors,  murderers,  whores,  and  thieves,  to 
the  great  damage  of  the  Town,  and  danger  of  Scholars  and  other  men  paf- 
fing  that  way  •,  and  that  Scholars  and  others  were  there  often  wounded,  killed, 
and  loft  ;  and  that  all  the  faid  plots  of  ground  lay  wafte,  and  had  been  for  a

long  time  deferted  from  the  inhabiting  of  any  perfon,  and  that  it  was  a  place 
as  'twere  defolate,  and  not  included,  or  by  any  occupied.' 

They  faidalfo,  *  that  to  ered  buildings  on  the  faid  ground,  and  inclade  the 
faid  land,  would  prove  profitable  to  future  times,  a  relief  and  recovery  of 
the  whole  Town,  and  would  redound  much  to  the  honour  and  fecurity  of 
the  Scholars  in  the  Univerfity  that  fhould  in  times  to  come  inhabit  therein,, 
and  alfo  to  the  profit  and  relief  of  the  Town,  and  all  men  dwelling  therein.* 

They  delivered  alfo,  *  that  the  faid  meflfuages  and  plots  of  ground  were 
worth  in  all  profits  according  to  the  true  value  ten  fhillings  yearly,  and  no 
more,  becaufe  that  nobody  ever  cared  to  enter  upon,  or  have  any  thing  to 
do  with  them,  &c.' 

So  far  the  Jury  :  though  as  to  this  laft  thing  that  they  delivered,  it  ap- 
pears to  the  contrary  i  when  as  the  Burghers  of  Oxford  made  the  Bifboppay 
for  their  eight  plots  of  ground,  and  their  fhare  in  the  common  lane,  before- 
mentioned  (all  which  were  defolate,  and  were  afterwards  included  within  the 
limits  of  the  College)  eighty  pounds,  as  it  evidently  appears  (54)  elfewhere. 
A  hard  purchafe  methinks  for  ground  worth  but  ten  (hillings  per  an. 

After  this  was  done,  which  was  very  neceffary  for  the  defign  in  hand,  (for 
it  could  not  well  be  otherwife)  the  Bilhop  obtained  {§§)  licenfe  of  King  Ri- 
chard II  to  found  his  College  30  June  an.  reg.  3,  Dom.  1379,  (being  about 
ten  or  twelve  days  after  the  faid  inquifition  was  taken)  for  feventy  Scholars 
ftudying  in  divers  faculties,  and  on  thofe  places  which  he  had  purchafed  of 
divers  perfons. 

Which  being  performed,  and  he  finding  it  high- time  to  get  other  lands 
for  the  enlargement  of  his  College,  which  he  had  not  yet  according  to  the 
model  procured,  did  purchafe  (56)  of  the  Minifter  and  Brethren  of  the  order 
of  the  holy  Trinity  two  plots  of  ground,  containing  one  acre  of  land,  on 
the  firfl  of  Auguft  the  fame  year  beforemenrioned,  which  they  before  had 
of  the  Mayor  and  Commonalty  of  Oxford.  It  contained  as  I  elfewhere  (gy) 
find,  threcfcore  perches  in  length,  from  the  weft  to  the  eaft  end,  that  is  to 
fay,  from  Smyth-gate  within  the  walls,  to  the  north-eaft  corner  of  the  faid 
wall  near  to  Cro  Well ;  and  in  breadth  one  perch  and  an  half.  Alfo  from 
the  north  to  the  fouth,  viz.  from  the  faid  north-eaft  corner  by  Cro  Well  to 
the  eaft  gate  of  the  Town,  fix  and  twenty  perches  in  length,  and-one  perch 
and  two  feet  in  breadth.  Of  this  land  I  fhall  fpeak  more  elfewhere  in  my 
difcourfe  of  the  Trinitarians  and  their  houfe,  where  you  may  find  it  better 
defcribed  from  fure  record ;  (57*)  this  here  being  the  Vicar's  plea  of  St. 
Peters  Church  for  tithes  from  the  faid  land. 

This  being  done>  he  the  faid  Founder  obtained  3(58)  confirmation  of 
thofe  lands  which  he  purchafed  of  St.  Fridefwyde's  Priory,  dat.  1  Aug.  3 
Ric.  II.  And  this  he  did  becaufe  they  were  procured  before  his  deprivation.

A  confirmation  (59)  alfo  (with  the  King's  leave  for  it)  from  St.  John's 
Hofpital  of  all  plots  of  ground  belonging  to  them,  being  eight  in  number, 
containing  three  roods  of  land,  dat.  i  Aug.  3  Ric.  II.  The  defcription  of 
which  plots  you  have  before  under  the  eighth  head. 

Another  confirmation  (60)  of  the  eight  plots  of  ground,  containing  two 
acres  of  land,  and  a  common  lane  containing  three  roods,  of  the  Mayor  and 
Commonalty  of  Oxford,  2  Aug.  the  fame  year.  For  which  purchafe,  as  I  told 
you  before,  they  made  the  Bifhop  pay  Sol. 

Another  confirmation  (61)  of  a  meffuage  fituated  between  the  tenement 
of  William  Spaldyng,  called  Spaldyng  Couch,  on  the  weft,  and  a  certain  plot 
of  ground  which  (while  it  had  edifices  thereon)  was  called  Bole  Hall,  on  the 
eaft,  4  Aug.  3  Ric.  II.  Which  mefluage  John  de  Bokingham,  and  John  de 
Rouceby  had  before  purchafed  of  the  Vicar  and  Parifhioners  of  St.  Peter 
in  the  eaft,  as  is  told  you  before  under  the  fourth  head.  Thefe  ceremonies 
the  Founder  was  the  more  willing  to  do,  becaufe  the  purchafes  of  the  faid 
lands  and  tenements  were  made  before  his  deprivation,  and  knew  not  but  that 
the  faid  purchafes,  without  confirmation,  might  be  looked  upon  as  invalid, 
feeing  that  his  temporalities  had  before  been  leized  into  the  King's  hands. 

The  faid  lands  being  obtained,^  befides  other  parcels  and  tenements  (for 
all  which  he  had  the  King's  licenfe)  ifliued  forth  his  Charter,  (62)  for  the 
foundation  of  his  College  dated  26  Nov.  1379.  Wherein  (after  he  gives 
divers  reafons  why  he  founds  it,  the  chiefeft  of  which  was  becaufe  of  the 
fcantity  of  Scholars  in  the  nation,  having  been  fwept  away  by  great  pefti- 
lences  (6^)  and  wars)  I  find  that  his  intentions  were,  that  one  Warden  and 
threefcore  and  ten  poor  and  indigent  Scholars  fhould  always  be  fuftained  by 
his  liberality,  and  that  his  College  fliould  be  called  the  College  of  St.  Mary, 
commonly,  ^eiute  ^mt  College  of  capntfieffre  in  £)j;enforti* 

After  this  was  done,  and  letters  (64)  of  Attorney  granted  to  Mr.  John  de 
Campden,  and  Mr.  Nicholas  de  Wykeham,  Warden  of  this  College,  to  take 
feifin  of  all  lands,  tenements,  plots  of  ground,  &c.  which  were  before  obtained 
(his  Scholars  in  the  mean  time  being  for  the  moft  part  maintained  in  certain 
halls  and  hoftles,  chiefly  in  Hert-hall,  and  that  of  Black  (64*)  adjoining)  the

confecration.  After  which  was  performed,  followed  with  great  paftime  and 
mirth,  the  whole  was  finifhed  1386,  in  the  fame  manner  in  effedl  as  it  now 
ftands,  built  very  ftrong  in  every  particular,  and  for  the  moft  part  encom- 
pafTed  with  an  embattled  wall;  out  of  defign,  as  fome  have  thought,  to  hold 
out  a  fiege  if  need  required  it;  which  in  the  year  1651,  when  K.  Charles  II 
came  out  of  Scotland  to  Worcefter,  had  like  to  have  come  to  pafs,  to  the 
great  damage  of  this  place,  and  the  Students  thereof.  In  fo  admirable  a 
condition  did  he  complete  it,  as  well  in  its  ftructure  as  government,  that 
examples  thereby  were  given  to  leveral  in  following  ages  to  imitate,  that  is 
to  (66)  fay,  to  William  de  Waynfleet,  when  he  ereded  his  College  at  Ox- 
ford, K.  Hen.  VI  his  College  at  Cambridge,  and  his  other  at  Eaton,  and  to 
others  (6^)  in  fucceeding  times  in  this  Univerfity,  efpecially  as  to  govern- 
ment, when  their  refpedive  ftatuces  given  to  them  by  their  Founders, 
were  for  the  mod  part  the  fame  with  Wykeham's,  a  few  words  only 
changed. 

On  the  14th  of  April  the  fame  year  (1386)  being  then  the  vigil  of  Palm 
Sunday,  the  firft  Warden  and  Fellows  (68)  entered  the  College  at  three  (69) 
of  the  clock  in  the  morning  with  folemn  procefTion  and  Litanies,  commend- 
ing then  themfelves  and  their  ftudies  to  the  care  and  protedion  of  the  Al- 
mighty. Which  being  done,  and  the  Scholars  fettled  in  their  chambers  (as 
it  was  before  appointed)  the  Founder  proceeded  to  enlarge  the  fite  of  his 
College,  to  the  end  that  all  neceflary  places  might  be  procured  and  built  for 
their  ufe.  For  this  end  obtaining  of  the  Nunnery  of  Stodley  a  meflliage 
called  Sheldhall  (yo)  12th  of  Ric.  II,  of  Univerfity  College,  another  (71) 
called  Mayden  Hall,  and  a  third  of  (yi)  Ofney,  (liled  Great  or  More  Hamer 
hall,  the  fame  year  he  pulled  them  down,  and  in  their  places  built  part  of 
the  weft,  and  moft  part  of  the  fouth  Cloifter,  as  alfo  made  that  way  leading 
from  the  eaft  part  of  Hart  hall  to  this  College  gate.  As  for  the  north  Cloi- 
fter, it  was  built  on  the  common  way  which  led  from  Smythgate  to  the 
north  eaft  corner  of  the  Town  wall,  included  before  by  the  Trinitarians. 
All  which  being  finiftied  (1  mean  the  Cloifters)  were,  with  the  area  within, 
(appointed  by  the  Founder  to  be  a  burial  place  or  churchyard  for  the  College,

fide  of  them)  he  proceeded  in  his  work  at  Winchefter  -,  which  being  finiflied, 
he  gave  ftatutes  to  both  his  Colleges  ;  in  which,  for  this,  I  find  (74)  that 
the  number  he  appointed  were  one  Warden,  feventy  Clerical  Scholars,  ten 
Chaplains,  three  Clerks,  and  fixteen  Chorifters.  Ten  of  the  faid  Scholars 
were  to  hear  and  ftudy  the  Civil,  and  ten  more  the  Canon,.  Law.  The  other 
fifty  are  to  ftudy  Arts,  or  Philofophy,  and  Divinity  j  two  of  which  notwith- 
ftanding  were  permitted  to  apply  themfelves  to  the  ftudy  of  Medicine,  and 
two  of  Aftronomy.  The  Chaplains  and  Clerks,  who  are  ftipendiaries,  and 
to  have  fufficient  voices  in  reading  and  finging,  are  to  perform  fervice  daily 
in  the  Chapel.  The  Chorifters  alfo,  who  are  to  accompany  them,  are  to  be 
fufficiently  knowing  both  to  read  and  fing ;  for  whom  afterward  a  Grammar 
and  Mufic  School  were  ere(5led  between  the  eaft  Cloifter  and  weft  end  of 
the  Chapel,  wherein  they  might  be  inftructed  in  the  faid  arts,  (y^)  as  it  is  to 
this  day.  The  Founder  alfo  took  {y6)  care,  by  way  of  fpecial  prerogative, 
that  he  or  they  of  his  confanguinity,  wherefoever  they  are  born  or  live, 
fhould,  if  competently  learned  m  Grammar,  be  admitted  perpetual  Fellows, 
without  ferving  any  time  of  probationfhip  ;  whereas  all  others  are,  according 
to  the  ftatutes,  to  ferve  two  years,  fo  that  they  come  from  Winchefter 
College. 

Thus  was  this  noble  v;ork  finifhed  and  completed  in  the  fame  manner  as 
you  have  heard,  by  the  bounty  of  the  faid  thrice  worthy,,  and  never  too 
much  admired  prelate;  not  fo  much  for  the  eternizing  of  his  own  name,  but 
chiefly  for  the  public  good,  fciL  that  the  holy  writ,  and  all  other  fciences, 
might  the  freer  be  dilated  -,  that  Chrift  might  be  preached,  and  the  true  wor- 
fhip  of  him  augmented  and  fuftained  ;  that  the  number  of  Clerks  might  be 
increafed,  which  were  before  fwept  away  by  peftilences,  and  other  miferies  of 
the  world,  &c.

BUILDINGS. 

AS  for  the  Buildings  of  this  College  they  were  all,  that  now  ftand,  eredled 
in  the  Founder's  time,  without  the  alTiftance  of  any  benefaftor.  What  hath 
been  done  to  them  fince  hath  been  the  making  of  a  third  ftory ;  began,  as  I 
conceive,  in  Dr.  Colepeper's  time,  but  had  no  ample  or  uniform  windows 
made  to  them,  looking  without  the  College,  till  the  beginning  of  King 
Charles  I  •,  which  being  looked  upon  as  an  ornament,  others  followed,  and 
at  length  in  an.  1675  the  Society  at  their  own  charge,  hath  made  windows 
to  the  faid  third  ftory,  looking  into  the  quadrangle,  fwitable  to  thofe  windows 
in  the  firft  and  fecond  ftory.  Which  addition  hath  added  a  great  advantage 
to  the  beauty  of  the  quadrangle.

What  further  is  obfervable  of  this  Chapel  is,  that  it  remained  in  the  fame

(lately  organ  fet  up  over  the  fcreen,  parting  the  outer  from  the  inner 
Chapel,  an.  1663.  Which  organ,  being  accounted  the  bed  at  this  day  in

VIII.     LTNCOLN      COLLEGE. 

HAVING  now  done  with  Nev/,  I  fhoiild  proceed  to  fpeak  of  Lincoln, 
College,  being  the  next  according  to  ftanding  to  be  mentioned ;  but 
certain  matters  relating  to  the  Founder  of  it  prefenting  themfelves  to  my 
hands,  1  fhall  lay  them  before  your  view,  and  then  fpeak  of  the  Foundation, 
Benefadors,  and  other  things,  as  I  have  done  already  in  other  Colleges. 

The  Founder  therefore,  Richard  Flemmyng,  was  born,  as  'tis  faid,  at 
Crofton  in  Yorkfliire,  and  defcended  there  from  a  worfhipful  family,  '  Vir 
illuftris  genere*  (as  (i)  one  hath)  '  fed  literis  atque  amore  in  patriam  mul- 
to  illuftrior.'  From  fchool  literature  in  his  own  country,  he  was  fent  to 
[Univerfity  College  (2) J  Oxford;  where  after  fome  time  fpent  in  Logicals 
and  Philofophicals,  he  attained  to  thofe  Academical  degrees  which  were  in 
his  time  not  common;  that  is  to  fay,  the  degree  firft  of  Bachelor,  then  of 
Matter  of  Arts-,  and  at  length  became  Prodor  of  the  Univerfity,  (3)  as  you 
may  fee  in  the  Catalogue  of  them  at  the  end  of  this  Work,  fub.  an.  1407, 
But  being  yet  but  Incasptor,  or  at  fartheft  Regent,  became  fo  great  an  Agi- 
tator in  the  holy  caufe  of  Wyclive,  drawing  thereby  a  confiderable  party  after 
him,  that  had  not  his  mouth  been  flopped  with  preferment  the  bufinefs  would 
then  have  proved  pernicious.  Further  alfo,  upon  the  perfuafions  of  fome  of 
the  chief  men  of  the  Univerfity,  he  entertained  other  thoughts,  relinquifhed 
his  dodlrine,  and  became  afterwards  fo  violent  againft  it,  that  he  purpofely 
intended  this  his  College  to  nurfe  up  able  men  to  confute  it  and  its  fol- 
lowers. 

After  he  had  fpent  fome  years  in  Oxford  in  the  degree  of  Mailer,  he  was 
called  into  his  own  country  •,  where,  and  in  other  places  adjoining,  he  had  fe- 
veral  preferments  beftowed  upon  him  :  (4)  Among  which  was  the  Reftory  of 
Bofton  in  the  county  of  Lincoln  one.  After  which,  growing  into  favour  with 
King  Henry  V,  and  fome  of  the  chief  nobles,  was  at  length  preferred  to  the 
Bilhopric  of  Lincoln  [in  1420],  (being  then  ProfeiTor  (5)  of  the  holy  writ) 
wherein  after  he  had  fate  four  years,  went  as  an  Ambalfador  or  Orator  to 
the  Council  of  Sens,  (one  hath  of  Conllance)  where  he  fpoke  fo  eloquently, 
(Pope  Martin  V  being  prefent)  and  made  fuch  a  learned  proteltation  againft

^  in  his  own  country,  that  the  Pope  [Martin  V  (7)  ]  the  next  year  following

2^6  LINCOLN     COLLEGE. 

A  note  that  I  have  feen  tells -me,  that  this  Epitaph  was  compofed  by  Ri- 
chard FL£^fMYNG  himfelf;  which  if  well  confidered  (though  made  accord- 
ing to  the  humour  of  that  age  he  lived  in)  cannot  I  fuppofe  he  attributed  to 
his  making.  Of  this  I  am  fure,  that  one  Stoon,  a  Carthufian  of  Sheen  m 
Surrey,  tranfcribed,  and  added  to  it  divers  verfes  by  way  of  explanation,  en- 
titling (8)  them  *  Metrificatio  Stoone  Monachi  ordinis  Carthufienfis  fuper 
verfus  Richardi  Flemmyng,  quondam  Epifcopi  Lyncoln  :'  Wherein  he  infift- 
Cth  much  on  the  honour,  learning  and  piety  of  that  worthy  Bifhop. 

After  he  had  fate  in  the  See  of  Lincoln  about  feven  years,  proceeded,  ac- 
cordinfy  to  his  former  intentions,  to  ered  fome  place  wherein  certain  perfons- 
mic^ht'^be  educated  to  write,  preach,  and  difpute  againft  the  damnable  doc 
trine  ^fo  was  it  accounted  in  his  time)  of  the  Wyclevifts.  The  firft  matter  in 
order'to  it  was  his  licenfe  (9)  from  K.  Hen.  VI,  in  the  fixth  year  of  his 
reic^n,  Dom.  142  7,  Od.  12  •,  whereby  it  was  granted  to  him  to  "  found  a  cer- 
tain Collecxe  or  Society  of  one  Warden,  or  Redor,  and  feven  Scholars  in  the 
Church  of'^AU  Saints  in  Oxford,  which  then  was  of  the  patronage  of  the  faid 
Bifhop  ;  and  to  unite,  annex,  and  incorporate  the  faid  Church  of  All  Saints, 
and  the  Churches  of  St.  Mildred,  and  St.  Michael  at  the  north  gate,  which 
were  in  his  patronage  alfo  in  right  of  his  Bifhopric  ;  and  the  faid  Churches 
fo  united,  annexed  and  incorporated,  to  name  them  the  Church  of  All  Saints; 
and  the  fame  Church  to  ered  and  change  into  a  Collegiate  Church  or  Col- 
lege-,  and  to  the  faid  Church  fo  eroded,  or  changed,  to  unite,  annex,  and 
incorporate  a  certain  Chantry  in  the  Chapel  of  St.  Anne  within  the  faid 
Church,  of  the  patronage  of  the  mayor  of  the  Town  of  Oxford  for  the  time 
being  ;  provided  that  daily  Mafs  and  other  Suffrages  be  duly  performed  in 
the  Chapel,  according  as  the  foundation  thereof  requireth,  ibr  the  fouls  of 
the  Founder  and  others.  That  there  fhould  be  alfo  two  moveable  Chap- 
lains, to  be  put  in  and  out  at  the  pleafure  of  the  Redor,  that  fhould  ferve 
in  the  faid  Church,  and  undergo  the  cure  of  fouls  there.  That  the  faid  Col- 
lege be  called  The  College  of  the  blessed  Virgin  Mary  and  All 
SAINTS,  Lyncoln,  in  the  University  of  Oxford.  That  the  faid  Redor 
and  Scholars  be  perpetual  Parfons  of  the  faid  Church,  and  capable  to  pur- 
chafe  lands,  rents  and  poffeffions  whatfoever  of  any  perfon  to  the  yearly  value 
ofiol.  &c.» 

After  this  was  obtained,  the  Founder  employed  certam  perfons  to  pur- 
chafe  tenements,  with  their  appurtenances ;  whereon  he  might  ered  his 
College  •,  and  thofe  were  John  Baylham,  Nicholas  Wynbufh,  and  William 
Chamberlavn,  Clerks,  who  were,  or  elfe  were  intended  to  be  of  the  number 
of  his  Scholars.  -  The  firll  Tenement,  or  meffuage  that  they  purchafed,  was 
of  St.  John's  Hofpital  in  Oxon,  called  (10)  Deep  Hall,  fituated  in  St.  Mil- 
dred's lane,  between  St.  Mildred's  Church  on  the  weft,  and  a  certain  garden, 
belonging  to  St.  Fridefwyde's  Priory  on  the  eaft.

That  being  procured,  they  were  not  wanting  to  obtain  others;  but  before 
they  could  be  conveniently  gotten,  the  Founder  died,  left  his  College  un- 
founded, and  all  things  relating  thereunto  without  any  maturity.:  So  that 
now  all  things  being  at  the  difpofal  and  ordering  of  certain  overfeers  of  the 
work,  which  upon  his  death-bed  he  had  appointed,  they  in  fome  things  fet- 
tled it  j  that  is  to  fay,  fo  far  as  to  place  in  the  faid  MefTuage  a  Redor,  and 
feven  Scholars,  and  two  Chaplains,  to  be  fuftained  with  the  revenues  ilTuing 
from  the  faid  Churches,  and  confer  on  them  thofe  monies  and  goods,  which 
the  Founder  had  left  them,  towards  the  building  and  furnifhing  for  them  a 
Manfion,  which  is  all  that  I  can  yet  learn.  As  for  Statutes  tiiey  had  none 
finifl.ed,  only  conceived,  but  were  governed  in  an  arbitrary  way,  as  the  Rec- 
tor thought  fit  and  meet. 


B     EN    E    FACTORS. 

Not  long  after  this,  feveral  pious  perfons,  looking  on  thefe  Orphans  as  ob- 
jedbs  of  charity,  beftowed  upon  them  both  money  and  lands,  either  for  their 
relief,  or  augmentation  of  their  number.    The  names  are(ii) 

John  Forest,  Dean  of  Wells,  and  Preb.  of  Banbury,  belonging  to  the 
Cathedral  of  Lincoln,  gave  5I.  yearly  revenues  (befides  what  he  expended  in 
building,  as  anon  Ihall  be  fhewed)  for  which  gift  the  Redlor  and  Society 
obliged  themfelves  and  fuccefTors  toobferve  his  anniverfary,  and  certain  rites 
to  his  memory,  &c.  6  June  1437.  ^^  confiderable  a  Benefaflor  he  was  that 
they  efteemed  him  a  Co-Founder. 

John  Southam,  Archdeacon  of  Oxford,  and  Refidentiary  of  Lincoln^ 
gave  40s.  yearly  rent,  a  large  fum  of  money,  and  certain  precious  things  * 
for  which  alfo  he  had  his  anniverfary  performed,  &c.  23  May  1436. 

William  Finderne,  Efq;  gave  lands  in  Seckworth,  nearBotley  in  Berk- 
fhire,  an.  1444,  befides  a  confiderable  fum  of  money,  which  he  before  had 
given  toward  the  building  of  the  College. 

Henry  Beaufort,  Cardinal,  Bifliop  of  Winchefter,  gave  an  hundred 
marks,  &c.  1447. 

John  Buketot,  Priefl,  gave  the  Manor  of  L.ittle  Polycote  in  Afhingdon 
in  com.  Buckingham.  The  year  when  he  gave  it  is  uncertain,  becaufe  the 
compofition  hath  longfince  been  loft.  All  the  record  of  it  remaining  is,  that 
the  fecond  Founder,  Thomas  Rotheram,  appointed  in  his  (12)  Statutes  a  fit 
prieft,  to  go  there  yearly  to  celebrate  fervice,  and  preach  a  fermon,  in  me- 
mory of  the  faid  Benefador,  on  the  feaft  of  St.  Matthew  the  Apoftle. 

Thus  far  briefly  concerning  the  nrft  Foundation  and  Benefadors  there- 
unto. Now  by  what  means  the  other  foundation  was  added,  and  botb 
united,  with  the  Benefactors  that  followed,  you  Ihall  have  as  I  find  them.

At 


238  LINCOLN      COLLEGE. 

At  what  time  Thomas  RoTHERAM,  alias  Scot,  Bifhop  of  Lincoln,  vU 
fited  his  Diocefe,  came  to  Oxford,  and  among  other  places  therein,  to  this 
College :  where  againft  his  coming,  John  Triftroppe,  Redor  thereof,  had 
(13)  provided  a  vifitation  fermon  for  him,  taking  his  text  out  of  the  Pfalm- 
ift,  (14)  running  thus :  '  Vide  et  vifita  vineam  tuam,  et  earn  perfice,  quam 
plantavit  dcxtra  tua.'  In  the  handling  of  which,  he  did  exhort  the  Bifhop 
in  fuch  manner  to  good  works,  and  to  perfe<5t  this  his  College,  which  then 
lay  imperfeft,  both  in  its  edifices  and  government,  that  when  he  concluded 
his  Sermon,  the  Bi(hop  flood  up  and  anfwered  the  preacher  with  great  love 
and  affedion  ;  '  faflurum  fe  quod  peteret.' 

The  next  year  therefore,  viz.  1475,  he  firft  of  all  finifhed  it,  as  to  its  ftruc- 
ture,  as  I  fhall  anon  tell  you  :  Then  augmented  the  number  of  Fellows  to 
twelve  ;  for  whofe  maintenance  he  appointed  the  benefices  of  Twyford  and 
Long  Combe,  the  former  in  the  county  of  Bucks,  the  other  in  that  of  Oxon. 
Furthermore  alfo,  that  they  Ihould  have  rules  adminiftered  to  them,  accord- 
ing to  Triftropp's  defire,  he  gave  them  Statutes,  fubfcribed  with  his  own 
liand,  II  Febr.  1479.  Wherein  among  divers  things  he  (15)  ordained,  that 
the  faid  Redor  and  twelve  Scholars,  or  Fellows,  fhould,  according  to  the 
places  of  their  nativities,  be  thus  ordered  •,  viz.  all  to  be  born  within  the  Dio- 
cefes  of  Lincoln,  York  and  Wells,  fo  that  from  the  laft  there  be  but  one. 
As  for  the  eleven  (from  whom  the  Reflor  is  always  to  be  defied)  eight  of 
them  are  to  be  of  the  diocefe  of  Lincoln,  and  four  of  thofe  eight  to  be  of 
the  county,  but  chiefly  of  the  Archdeaconry  of  York,  always  preferring  the 
parilh  of  Rotheram  in  the  firft  place,  if  fo  many  might  be  found  capable,  or 
fit  there.  Thus  in  brief  this  worthy  Bifhop,  7'homas  Rotheram,  then 
Chancellor  of  England,  and  afterward  Archbifhop  of  York  [in  1480  j]  who 
in  the  year  1463  was  ( 1 6)  incorporated  ProfefTor,  or  Docl.  of  Divinity  of  this 
Univerfity.  [He  died  in  1500,  and  was  buried  in  the  church  of  Sutton  in 
the  county  of  Bedford.   (17) 

After  this  followed  other  Benefa<5lors,  of  which  fome  gave  revenues  to 
have  their  memories  only  celebrated,  others  for  the  founding  of  Fellowfhips ; 
cf  which,  the  firfl,  after  the  faid  refloration,  or  fecond  foundation,  was 

Walter  Bate,  priell.  Commoner  of  the  College,  who  gave  an  houfe 
or  garden  joining  to  the  College  j  for  which  the  Redor  and  Fellows  by  a 
certain  writing,  dated  3  Nov.  1479,  obliged  themfelves  and  fuccefTors  to  cc« 
lebrate  the  day  of  his  obit  every  year. 

[ThomasJ  Crosby,  Treafurer  of  Lincoln,  gave  an  hundred  marks  to 
purchafe  lands  for  the  fuflaining  of  a  Chaplain -Legifl,  or  a  Civil  or  Canon 
Lawyer  in  orders,  &c.  18  Aug.  1476. 

William  Dagvyle  of  Oxford,  Gent,  by  his  laft  will,  dated  1474,  gave 
the  College  a  tenement  called  the  Chriftopher  in   St.  Mary  Magdalen's

and  a  garden  ground  in  Grandpont  near  Oxon,  in  Berkfhire.  All  which, 
valued  at  61.  13s.  ^d.  yearly,  were  to  come  to  them  after  the  deceafe  of  his 
wife  Margaret;  which,  though  it  happened  not  till  1523,  yet  in  the  year 
1488  fhe  demifed  the  faid  tenements  to  the  College,  during  her  natural  life, 
conditionally,  they  pay  her  the  faid  yearly  value  of  them. 

Edmund  Audley,  Bifhop  of  Salilbury,  (who  feems  to  have  been  for- 
merly of  this  Houfe)  gave,  at  the  requefl  of  Dr.  Drax,  Redor,  400I.  an. 
151 8:  with  which  were  purchafed  lands  in  Buckinghamfhire,  for  Liveries 
for  the  Fellows,  obliging  them  thereby  and  their  fucceflbrs  to  folemnize  his 
anniverfary  (befides  other  duties)  for  the  health  of  his  foul,  and  the  fouls  of 
James  Tuchet,  Lord  Audley,  and  Alianore  his  wife,  parents  of  the  faid  Bi- 
Ihop.  He  gave  (18)  them  alfo  the  patronage  of  a  Chantry,  which  he  had 
founded  about  the  fame  time  in  a  Chapel  built  by  him  in  the  Cathedral  of 
Salifbury,  on  the  fouth  fide  of  the  high  Altar. 

Some  years  before  Bifhop  Audley's  gift,  William  Smyth,  Bifhop  of 
Lincoln,  gave  to  the  College  two  manors,  one  in  StafFordfliire,  and  the  other 
in  this  of  Oxon,  but  upon  what  conditions  I  know  not,  having  not  as  yet 
ken  any  Compofition  concerning  the  faid  gift.  All  the  further  memory  that 
remains  of  this  matter  is,  that  what  he  performed  in  Brafenofe  Hall  was  in- 
tended for  this  College,  had  the  then  Redor  and  Fellows  fully  conceded  to 
his  propofals. 

Edward  Darby,  M,  A.  fometime  Fellow,  Archd.  of  Stow  and  Can.  Ref* 
in  the  Church  of  Lincoln,  gave  as  much  money  that  purchafed  20I.  yearly, 
26  Hen.  VIII :  With  which  revenues,  according  to  his  compofition,  were  three 
Fellows,  befide  the  twelve  beforementioned,  to  be  maintained,  each  according 
to  his  birth  to  be  thus  qualified;  that  is  to  fay,  one  to  be  of  the  Archdeaconry 
of  Stow,  another  to  be  of  the  county  of  Northampton,  and  the  third  of  the 
county  of  Oxford  ;  to  enjoy  the  faid  privileges  as  the  other  Fellows.  He  died 
J  542,  [Jan.  9,  and  was  buried  in  the  Cathedral  of  Lincoln,  where  there  is  an 
Epitaph  for  him.] 

Sir  William  Finderne,  Knt.  nephew  to  the  aforefaid  William  Finr 
derne,  Efq.  gave  lands  in  Charlgrove  in  the  county  of  Oxford,  worth  twenty 
fhillings  yearly  beyond  all  reprifes  :  for  which  gift  the  Redlor  and  Fellows 
were  bound  by  a  compofition,  bearing  date  laft  of  June  1514,  to  preach  a. 
Sermon  once  every  year  at  Childrey  in  Berks ;  and  in  the  prayer  before  it  to- 
commemorate  the  faid  William  and  Agnes  his  wife.  (19)

abouts, the  Scholars  of  this  place  had  then  granted  and  (34)  confirmed  to  them 
by  the  Prior  and  Convent  of  St.  Fridefwyde,  2  Jan.  17  Hen.  VI.  Dom.  1438, 
it  being  after  the  faid  forefront  was  finiflied,  as  is  attefted  in  the  grant. 

The  Redor's  Lodgings,  which  are  at  the  fouth  end  of  the  common  Hall, 
and  take  up  part  of  the  fouth  fide  of  the  great  quadrangle,  were  built  with  the 
monies  of  Thomas  Beckyngton,  Bifhopof  Bath  and  Wells,  who  gave  to  the 
College  200I.  for  that  purpofe.  For  which  bcnefaftion  the  Society  (35)  en- 
gaged themfelves  to  his  Executors,  Mr.  Hugh  Sugar,  Mr.  John  Pope,  and 
Mr.  Richard  Swan,  by  a  certain  compofition  dated  12  Nov.  1465,  to  celebrate 
his  Anniverfary,  and  other  fervice  to  his  memory.  A  token  of  this  his  gene- 
rofity  is  yet  remaining  on  the  walls  of  the  faid  fabrick,  as  well  next  to  the 
quadrangle  as  the  cq^nmon  Walk  or  garden  on  the  eaft  fide  of  the  faid  Lodg- 
ings: which  token  is  a  Beacon  over  or  on  a  tun,  being  a  Rebus  or  name-de- 
vice for  the  Benefador,  and  commonly  ufed  before  arms  became  frequent. 

In  the  Windows  of  the  Redlor's  Lodgings  are  thefe  Arms :

wa:s  (36)  built  with  the  monies  of  Thomas  Rotheram,  the  iecond  Founder, 

as  his  Arms  on  the  Wails,  which  are  three  Bucks  trippant,  atteft.  Roibiram. 

The  forefront,  or  weft  part  of  the  little  Quadrangle,  was  built  about 
the  year  161 2,  with  the30ol.  that  one  Sir  Thomas  Rotheram,  Knt.  (a  Bed- 
fordfhire  man,  and  Fellow  in  the  reign  of  Qiieen  Elizabeth)  gave,  in  recom- 
pence  of  the  wrong  he  did  to  the  College  while  he  was  Burfar.  For  at  that 
time,  as  'tis  commiOnly  reported  by  fome  of  this  Society,  he  conveyed  him- 
felf  away  with  much  of  the  College  treafure  into  Ireland  ;  where  obtaining  a 
fair  eftate,  and  refenting  in  the  end  his  former  fraud  in  beguiling  the  Colleo-e, 
requited  it  with  the  faid  fum  of  money,  and  other  gifts.  As  for  the  eaft 
jpart  of  the  laid  quadrangle,  I  find  it  to  have  been  built  about  the  fame  time 
that  the  new  Chapel  was  ereded,  partly  by  the  College  coft,  and  partly  by 
Benefadors,  of  whom  Sir  Peter  Manwood,  who  gave  30I.  and  Sir' Ri- 
chard Franklin  20I.  (much  about  the  time  that  the  weft  fide  was  built) 
were  two. 

[In  1759,  3- new  building,  containing  fix  rooms,  was  ere<5led  in  the  place 
commonly  called  the  Grove,,  at  the  cxpenfe  of  the  Society.] 

Hall  or  Refectory,  which  is  on  the  eaft  fide  of  the  great  Quadrangle, 
was,  with  the  Buttery  at  the  north  end  thereof,  with  the  Chamber  over  it, 
as  alfo  the  Kitchen,  built  (37)  by  the  aforefaid  John  Forest,  an.  1436,  or 
thereabouts.  What  other  Benefadors  to  it,  that  adorned  the  infide,  or  glazed, 
it,  I  cannot  yet  learn.  Sure  I  am  that  Mr.  Daniel  Hough  or  Huffe,  Bac, 
ofDiv.  an  ancient  Fellow  of  the  College,  did  at  the  time  of  his  death,  10 
Mar.  1643,  bequeath  50!.  for  the  making  a  new  Screen  at  the  lower  end 
thereof;  which  being  received  by  Dr.  Hood,  he  never  rendered  an  account

a  confidcrable  number.  Next  to  him  followed  feveral  Benefaftors,  who

loft  and  conveyed  away,  yet  fome  of  the  donors  names  I  fhall  here  men-

of  the  Collegiate  Church  of  St.  John  of  Beverley.  By  the  gifts- of  all  which, 
as  alfo  of  Mr.  Tho.  Barker,  who  gave  (43)  feveral  MSS ;  of  which  were 
four  Volumes  of  the  fubtile  Do6lor,  an.  1488  ;  and  Edm.  Audley,  Bifliop  of 
Salifbury,  this  place  was  very  nob!y  enriched  with  choice  rarities,  according 
to  the  efteem  of  thofe  times  wherein  they  were  given.  But  what  by  one  age 
is  admired,  by  another  is  defpifed  •,  that  which  was  eagerly  fought  after  and 
purfued  in  times  when  the  Catholic  Religion  took  place,  was  upon  the  Re- 
formation accounted  by  a  prevailing  party  ridiculous,  fuperftitious,  and 
by  fome  pernicious  in  a  high  degree :  and  then  it  was  that  this  and  other 
Libraries  were  vifited  and  purged,  fuffering  thereby  fuch  an  incredible  da- 
mage that  pofterity  have  curled  their  proceedings. 

To  pafs  by  the  gifts  of  Mr.  Jones  and  Mr.  Hugh  Weston,  who  gave

gory, St.  Ambrofe,  St.  Jerome,  St.  Chryfoflome,  &:c.)  we  muft  take  notice 
of  what  Dr.  Kilbye  hath  done  to  this  place;  who  as  foon  as  he  became  Rec- 
tor, beholding  it  to  lay  neglected,  as  it  had  done  moft  part  of  Qiieen  Eliza- 
beth's reign,  reftored  it,  made  eight  new  Repofitories  for  the  books,  viz,  four 
on  one  fide,  and  as  many  on  the  other,  and  gave  divers  good  books  there- 
unto ;  which  being  done,  others  by  his  example  gave  alfo ;  of  which,  thofe 
that  were  moft  confiderable,  were  Sir  Thom.  Rotheram,  Kt.  Dr.  Edm. 
Wilson,  a  Phyfician  of  Windfor,  Dan.  Hough,  B.  D.  who  gave  50I.  and 
Mr.  Robert  Sanderson,  [Fellow,]  afterward  Biftiop  of  Lincoln,  by  whofe 
bounty  this  place  began  to  re-flourifti.  To  thefe  gifts  muft  be  added  that 
of  Dr.  Gilbert  Watts,  fometime  Fellow,  who  dying  1657,  left  as  many 
books  of  his  own  ftudy  (for  he  had  a  very  choice  collection)  that  were  valued  to 
be  worth  60I.  moft  of  them  having  this  written  before  the  title-page,  "  Ruit 
,hora  G.  Watts,"  and  on  their  covers  three  Bucks  or  Stags  trippant,  which 
he  afliumed  for  his  arms,  as  being  of  kin  to  Rotheram  the  fecond  Founder. 
What  elfe  remaineth  to  be  fpoken  of  this  Library  is,  that  it  continuing  in 
the  ftate  of  a  Library  till  1656,  was  then  converted  into  fair  Chambers  and 
Studies,  and  at  the  fame  time  the  old  Chapel  oppofite  to  it,  and  on  the  fame 
lide  of  the  Quadrangle,  was  then  converted  into  a  Library:  All  done  at  the

in  the  year  in  thofe  of  All  Saints  and  St.  Miohael's,  as  their  ftatutes  enjoined 
them.  But  that  of  St.  Mildred's  being  in  great  decay  wa»  pulled  down,  and 
an  Oratory,  with  two  Chambers  underneath,  was  built  with  the  ftones 
thereof,  near  or  partly  on  the  place  where  the  faid  Church  flood,  by  the  bc- 
forementioned  (46)  John  Forest,  Dean  of  Wells,  an  1436.  For  the  erec-

was  granted  to  the  Society  to  celebrate  in  it,  (which  was  10  Feb.  1441)  it 
was  confecrated  to  the  memory  of  St.  Mildred,  or  St.  Hugh,  Bifhop  of  Lin- 
coln, or  both,  for  by  the  firft  name  it  was  for  the  mod  part  called  and  writ- 
ten ever,  even  till  the  reign  of  Hen.  VIH,  and  by  the  other,  though  feldom, 
yet  his  effigies  was  painted  in  the  glafs  windows  thereof,  and  fet  up  carved 
in  ftonc  on  a  pedeftal  over  the  lower  door  next  to  the  Quadrangle,  which 
in  former  times  was  not  a  little  efteemed  by  people  addicted  to  religion. 

To  this  Oratory  or  Chapel  divers  have  beftowed  their  liberality  for  the 
furniflMng  thereof  with  fit  Utenfils  :  among  which  have  been  thefe,  namely 
John  Southam,  beforementioned,  who  gave  (49)  ornaments  for  the  Altars 
and  Miniiters  about  the  time  of  its  foundation.  Robert  Flemmyng,  Dean 
of  Lincoln,  gave  a  table  for  the  high  Altar  fome  years  after.  Mr.  William 
Hastebridge,  Mr.  W.  Bate,  and  John  Golafre,  Efq.  gave  (50)  veft- 
ments,  Altar  clothes,  and  other  things,  before  the  year  1480.  Mr.  Richard 
Swan,  Provoft  of  Wells,  (51)  bequeathed  for  the  ufe  thereof  two  filver  Ba- 
fons,  partly  gilt,  two  great  filver  Candlefticks  for  the  Altar,  two  filver  Phiales, 
one  Pax,  a  filver  Paxbrede,  one  Miflale,  &c.  1487.  William  Withers, 
B.  D.  Ibmetime  Fellow  of  this,  and  of  Eaton,  College  by  Windfor,  gave 
fcv^ral  other  things  the  fame  year;  Rob.  Feyld,  fomctime  Fellow,  after- 
ward Redtor  of  Chylton  in  Berkfhire,  gave  (52)  divers  precious  ornaments 
for  it,  and  thole  that  adminifter  therein,  an.  1521  :  latlly,  among  others,  was 
Dr.  Thom.  Banke,  Redlor,  who  bequeathed  (53 j  money  toward  the  repara- 
tion of  the  ornaments,  and  other  things,  an.  J 503.  What  elfe  may  be  further 
faid  of  this  Chapel  is,  that  it  continued  in  uie  till  1631,  and  that  from  that 
time  till  1656  (when  it  was  converted  into  a  Library)  it  was  only  a  place  to 
lav  lumber  in.

IX.     ALL     SOULS     COLLEGE. 

I  HAVE  now  done  with  Lincoln  College;  the  next  that  is  tp  follow  is 
All  Souls,  fituated  in  the  High  ftreet,  in  the  parifh  of  St.  Mary  the  Vir- 
gin. Of  which,  before  I  fpeak  of  the  foundation,  I  fhall  firft  give  you  cer- 
tain notes  concerning  the  Life  of  the  Founder  Henry  Chichele,  Arch- 
bilhop  of  Canterbury,  and  then  proceed  in  that  method  as  1  have  already 
followed  in  the  former  Colleges. 

Bom  (i)  he  was  therefore  of  honed  parents  at  Higham  Ferrers  in  the 
county  of  Northampton,  bred  in  grammar  learning,  in  Oxon,  (2)  made  per- 
petual Fellow  of  New  College  in  Oxford,  an.  1387.  (3)  Where  making  great 
proficiencies  in  his  ftudies,  was  at  length  honoured  with  the  degree  of 
Do6lor  of  the  Civil  Laws,  and  numbered  amongft  the  beft  Scholars  in  that 
Society.  But  finding  himfelf  in  a  manner  tired  with  an  Academical  life, 
confidered  with  himfelf  how  he  might  benefit  the  Church  by  fome  public 
employment.  At  length,  in  the  middle  of  thofe  his  thoughts,  he  was  called 
from  his  College  by  Richard  Metford,  Birtiop  of  Salifbury,  who  having 
great  affedtion  for  him,  not  only  took  him  into  his  family,  but  alfo  truftcd 
him  with  the  fecreteft  of  his  councils.  (4)  This  Bifliop  preferred  him  to  the 
Archdeaconry  of  Salifbury  (a  certain  perfon  (5)  faith  of  York)  an.  1402,  and 
the  fame  year,  Jul.  20,  prefented  him  to  the  prebendfliip  of  Bedminfter  in 
the  faid  church  by  the  death  of  Tho.  Botiller,  and  a  little  after  to  the  Chan-

cellorfhip  of  the  faid  church.  (6)  Where  being  noted  for  a  perfon  of  eminent 
atwlities,  was  through  the  endeavours  of  the  faid  Bilhop  commended  to  the 
King,  (Hen.  IV.)  who  alfo,  upon  feveral  experiencies,  taking  him  into  his 
favour,  employed  him  much  in  embadages  and  other  affairs  of  high  concern- 
ment. In  the  manage  of  which,  deporting  himfelf  with  great  difcretion  and 
prudence,  to  the  King's  good  approbation,  was  by  him,  upon  the  death  of 
Guy  Mohun,  (7)  preferred  to  the  Bifliopric  of  St.  David's,  and  foon  after 
confecrated  by  the  Pope  himfelf  at  Siena,  an.  1409-,  (8j  where  fittino-  five 
years,  and  increafing  much  in  the  favour  of  the  king,  and  his  fon  the  Prince, 
(afterwards  Hen.  V)  by  the  approved  performance  of  public  adions,  had  the 
Arbifhopric  of  Canterbury  beftowed  upon  him  by  the  lad,  when  he  was 
King. 

Shortly  after  he  received  his  pall  from  the  Bifhop  of  Winchefter  with  great 
folemnity  29  Jul.  1414.  In  which  place  waxing  wondrous  rich,  did,  while 
living,  beftow  his  wealth  on  the  public,  witnefs  (befides  his  foundations  at 
Oxford,  and  that  at  Higham  Ferrers,  of  which  more  anon)  the  fum  of  mo- 
ney  which  he  gave  to  this  Univerfity,  amounting  to  123I.  6s.  8d.  repofited 
afterward  in  a  cheft  called  Chicheley's  hutch,  or  cheil,  from  whence  the  Uni- 
verfity was  (9)  enabled  to  borrow  5I.  for  the  ufe  thereof  for  one  turn,  and 
every  College  then  in  being  five  marks.  The  like  alio  he  gave  to  New  Col- 
lege, which  being  put  mto  a  cheft,  and  ftatutes  made  for  the  ordering  of  it, 
that  College  was  then  by  his  appointment  difenabled  from  borrowing  any 
money  from  the  Univerfity  cheft,  that  he  had  founded. 

As  for  his  benefaftion  to  the  Univerfity,  and  his  care  in  obtainino-  and 
beftowing  benefices  for,  and  on,  the  Scholars ;  the  members  thereof  did 
highly  congratulate  him,  and  in  one  epiftle,  (10)  if  not  more,  written 
and  fent  by  them  to  Pope  Martin  V,  did  make  very  honourable  men- 
tion of  him,  partly  for  his  favours,  but  chiefly  in  vindication  of  him,  when 
he  laid  under  fufpenfion  of  his  Legateftiip  in  England,  and  the  Bifliops  un- 
der excommunication,  for  (11)  not  reprehending  and  preaching  againft  cer-

diflionour  of  the  State,  of  the  Clergy,  (12)  or  Apoftolic  Seat,  or  both,  &c. 

After  Dr.  Chicheley  had  fate  29  years  in  the  See  of  Canterbury,  more  than 
any  of  his  predeceftbrs  had  done  for  500  years,  died  12  Apr.  1443,  and  was-

As  for  thofe  Foundations  and  Strufbures,  which  this  Arch  prelate  erefted, 
I  fhall  now  recite.  ' Tis  laid  that  when  he  confulted  with  his  friends  what 
great  matter  of  piety  he  had  bed  perform  to  God  in  his  old  age,  was  advifed 
by  them  to  build  an  Hofpiial  for  the  entertainment  of  the  wounded  and  fick 
foldiers,  that  daily  returned  from  the  wars  then  had  in  France  with  the 
French  King  ;  but  difliking  thofe  motions,  and  valuing  the  welfare  of  the 
deceafed  more  than  the  wounded  and  difeaied,  refolved  with  himfelf  to  pro- 
mote his  defign  at  Hicham  Ferrers,  the  place  of  his  birth.  Wherefore 
making  his  mind  known  to  the  King,  got  his  (14)  licenfe  dated  at  South- 
wyke  2  May,  in  the  tenth  year  of  his  reign,  Dom.  1422,  to  found  a  Colle- 
giate Church  there,  which  being  foon  after  built  and  finifhed,  endowed 
it  with  poflefllons  (15)  for  the  maintenance  of  eight  Chaplains  (of  which  one 
was  to  be  Mafter  to  govern  the  reft)  four  Clerks  and  fix  Chorifters.  Of

For  the  eredion  of  it,  therefore,  this  worthy  Archprelate  employed  in  the

Who  forthwith  bargaining  with  the  owners  of  them  for  certain  prices,  pulled

in  the  wars  lately  had  in  France.  Which  being  done,  the  faid  King  not 
long  after,  viz.  14  Aug.  an.-  reg.  20,  granted  to  the  College  divers  privileges 
and  liberties,  which  being  many,  and  too  large  to  be  here  recited,  I  Ihall 
omit  them. 

About  the  fame  time  the  Founder  confulting  about  the  government  of  his 
Scholars,  gave  them  at  length  Statutes  figned  with  his  own  hand  and  feal  -, 
(25)  wherein  ordaining  the  faid  number  of  forty,  to  be  annually  fupplied,  if 
defective  j  ordained  (36)  then  alio  that  they  Ihould  be  divided  into  two  pro- 
fcflions,  viz.  four  and  twenty  to  be  always  converfant  in  Philofophy  and  Di- 
vinity, v/hich  were  to  be  (tiled  Artifts,  and  the  other  fixteen  to  profefs  the 
Canon  or  Civil  Law,  and  they  to  be  called  Jurifts.  But  as  they  were  to  be 
fo  diftinguifliied  according  to  their  profeffion,  fo  were  they  to  be  according  to 
their  nativities,  that  is,  to  be  legitimate,  and  not  fpurious,  or  natural,  to  be 
born  aifo  in  the  diocefe  (37)  of  Canterbury,  namely,  in  the  Counties  of 
Oxford,  SufTex,  Northampton,  Buckingham,  Bedford,  Middlefex,  Surrey, 
Berks,  Wilts,  Dorfet,  Somerfer,  and  fo  in  the  reft  of  the  counties  within  the 
faid  diocefe;  but  with  this  provifion,  that  thofe  of  his  alliance  (hould  be 
regarded  in  the  firft  place,  if  for  learning  capable,  and  thofe  were  to  be  fuch 
that  were  defcerided  from  the  loins  of  Robert  and  William  Chichele,  be- 
forementioned,  for  fifters  (as  'tis  faid)  he  had  none :  and  though  William  and 
Thomas  Chichele,  Archeacons  of  Canterbury,  [and  John  Chichele,  Rector  of 
Hadftock  in  EfTex,]  were  his  near  kinfmen,  yet  being  Clergymen,  it  is  to  be 
fuppofed  they  had  no  lawful  iifue.     [See  tlie  Pedigree  p.  259.] 

The  faid  Statutes  being  given,  and  certain  other  Scholars  appointed, 
namely.  Chaplains,  (38)  Clerks  and  Chorifters,  (not  ftinted  to  a  particular 
number)  the  next  thing  to  be  done  was  to  make  a  clear  purchafe  of  thofe 
tenements  whereon  the  College  was  then  built,  being  before  bargained  for  -, 
that  is  to  fay,  the  two  '39)  tenements  of  St.  Fridefwyde's  Priory,  one  in  the 
High  ftreet,  between  the  tenement  of  the  parifhoners  of  St.  Mary's  Church 
on  theeaft,  and  the  tenement  called  Bereford  Hall,  fometimes  Cherlton's  Inn, 
on  the  weft.  The  other  in  Cat-ftreet,  between  a  tenement  of  St.  John's  Hof-

(60)  [Befides  this  Lhantry  founded  by  Bi- 
ihop Goldwell,  there  were  three  more 
Chantries  founded  by  Honeywood,  Broke 
and  Bartlett. 

Robert  Honeywood  LL.  D.  fon:ietime 
Fellow,  purchafed  an  eftate  called  Langley 
Marreys  or  Marfh  in  Buckinghamfliire,  and 
granted  it  by  deed,  23  Jul.  10  Hen.  VIII, 
to  William  Broke,  and  others,  in  truft,  that 
they  fhould  pay  to  the  Warden  of  this  Col- 
lege the  profits,  in  order  to  find  a  Fellow  in 
Priefl's  orders  to  perform  divine  fervice  for 
his  foul.  The  falary  of  the  Priefl  was  limited 
at  4s.  per  month.  (Archiv.  Coll.) 

Robert  HoTieyn.uood  was  the  fecond  fon  of 
Thomas  do  Honywood,  who  was  defcended 
from  oBe  of  the  mofl  ancient  families  in  the 
county  of  Kent,  and  which  is  ftill  exifling. 
(Morant's  Hist,  of  EfTex,  II,  167.)  He  was 
jtdmitted  a  Fellow  of  the  College  in  14.86, 


took  the  degrees  in  Law,  and  rofe,  probably 
by  the  patronage  of  Goldwell,  Bifhop  of 
Norwich,  to  confiderable  ecclefiaftical  prefer- 
ments. He  was  firfl  Archdeacon,  and  foon 
after  Chancellor  or  Vicar  general  of  the  fee 
of  Norwich ;  and  afterwards  became  Arch- 
deacon of  Taunton,  and  Canon  of  Windfor. 
He  died  Jan.  23,  1522,  and  was  buried  in 
St.  George's  Chapel,  Windfor.  (Ath.  Ox.

William  Broke,  fometime  Warden,  pur- 
chafed various  fmall  eltates  in  Wedon,  Cren- 
don,  and  Bofyate,  which  are  now  in  the  pof-

them  on  the  College,  on  condition  that  out

rich  Tanner  there,  and  after  he  had  been  educated  in  his  own  country,  was 
fent  to  Exeter  College,  and  thence  elefted  Fellow  of  this  1523.  He  was  af- 
terwards  fuccefllvely  Principal  of  Peckwater's  Inn,  Doctor  of  the  Civil  Law,

Richard  Bartlett,  M.  D.  fometime 
Fellow,  purchafed  lands  in  Edgware  in  the 
county  of  Middlefex,  and  granted  them  to 
the  College  by  his  deed,  dated  7  May  2  and 
3  Phil,  and  Mar.  in  confideration  that  daily 
maffes  fhould  be  celebrated  in  the  Chapel  for 
the  fouls'  of  himfelf,  of  his  wife  Anne,  &c. 
The  falary  of  the  celebrating  prieft  was  2od 
per  week,  or  5s.  8d.  per  month.  (Arch.

Richard  Bartlett  was  admitted  a  Fellow  of 
the  College  in  1495,  took  ^^^  degree  in  Phy- 
iic,  and  about  the  year  1  508  was  admitted 
into  the  College  of  Phyficians,  of  which  he 
afterwards  became  Prefident.  He  is  faid  to 
have  been  a  very  learned  man,  and  very  emi- 
nent in  his  profeflion.  (Ath.  Oxon.  Fasti 
I,  13.)  He  died  in  1556-7,  at  his  houfe  in 
Blackfriers,  London,  in  the  87th  year  of  his 
age,  and  was  buried  in  the  church  of  St. 
Bartholomew,  Smithfield.  (Ibid,  and  Strype's 
EccL.  Mem.  hi,  p.  389.)  He  left  a  bafon

long  before  his  death  was  a  contributor  with 
Sir  W.  Petre,  Sir  J.  Mafon,  Bilhop  Pole  and 
others,  to  the  building  of  the  Warden's  new 
Lodgings.    (Ibid,  and  Arch.  Coll.) 

Upon  the  Reformation  the  fuperftitious 
purpofes  for  which  thefe  Chanteries  were 
founded,  being  done  away,  the  money  was 
given  to  the  Fellows  appointed  to  read 
prayers.  Their  names  were  changed  into 
Exhibitions  for  the  Chapel.]

lip and  Mary  had  lately  granted  it.  This 
was  probably  the  fpct  which  the  Warden 
Hoveden  afterwards  converted  into  his  gar- 
den. 

He  was  a  far  greater  benefaftor  ;  for  it  was 
chiefly  by  his  means  that  the  College  became 
poirefTed  of  the  Reftories  of  Barking  and 
Staunton  Harcourt,  (Reg, Coll.)  He  founded 


alfo  three  fmall  Exhibitions  for  three  Scholars

ers of  Loxford  in  the  fame  parilh.  (Morant's

Napper,  his  executors,  in  truft,  to  beltovv  it 
on  pious  and  charitable  ufes.  In  the  3d  and

Cardinal  Pole,  The  Reftory  of  Stan- 
ton Harcourt  in  the  County  of  Oxford  had 
been  granted  by  Adeliza,  the  wife  of  Hen.  I, 
to  the  Convent  of  Reading.  On  the  fuppref- 
fion  of  the  Monefteries  it  fell  into  the  hands 
of  the  Crown;  but  Queen  Mary's  zeal  for  her 
religion  would  not  permit  her  to  retain  the 
eftates,  which  had  formerly  belonged  to  thofe 
religious  focietics.  By  virtue  of  an  Aft  of 
Parliament,  Cardinal  Pole  was  invefted  with 
certain  impropriate  parfonages,  &c.  then  in 
the  hands  of  the  Crown  ;  with  full  power 
to  -difpofe  of  them  to  fuch  good  and  pious 
ofes  as  he  fl:ould  think  proper.  Among  thefe 
was  the  Reclory  of  Stanton  Harcourt.  Sir 
William  Fetre  was  patron  of  the  Vicarage, 
and  it  was  in  confequence  of  his  petition  that 
the  Cardinal  granted  the  faid  Redory  to  the 
College,  Mar,  22,  1557.  (Regist.  et  Ar- 
CHIV.  Coll.) 

David  Pole  was  admitted  a  Fellow  of 
this  College  in  152O.  He  is  thought  by 
many  to  have  been  the  illegitimate  brother 
of  Cardinal  Pole.  Bifhop  Burnet  fays  that  he 
is  exprefsly  called  his  brother  in  one  of  the 
Cardinal's  coramiffions  to  him  ;  but  notwith- 
ftanding  this  ftrong  evidence,  Mr.  Strype 
alTerts  that  he  was  not  his  brother,  nOr  yet  a 
baftard,  becaufe  there  is  no  bull  of  uii'penfa- 
tion  in  his  favour  to  be  found  among  thofe 


which  were  at  that  time  fent  over.  (Bur- 
net's Hist,  of  Reform.  11,  p.  326,  and  III, 
p.  765.)  It  is,  perhaps,  fome  proof  in  fa- 
vour of  Mr,  Strype's  opinion,  that  by  the 
Str.tutes  of  this  College  a  baftard  cannot  be 
chofen  a  Fellow  of  it.  The  words  of  the 
Statute  are— '  in  legitimomatrimonio  nati.* 

David  Pole  took  his  degrees  in  Law,  was 
Archdeacon  of  Salop,  and  of  Derby,  Dean 
of  the  Arches,  Chancellor  of  the  diocefe 
cf  Lichfield.  (Ath.  Oxon.  Vol.  I,  p.  697.) 
He  was  afterwards  in  the  year  1557  raifed 
by  the  intereft  of  the  Cardinal  to  the  See  of 
Peterborough,  at  that  time  one  of  the  poorcd 
in  England  ;  and  this  is  mentioned  by  many 
hiftorians  as  a  proof  of  the  Cardinal's  great 
continence  and  unbiased  conduct  in  the  dif- 
pofal  of  ecclefiaftical  preferments.  {Burnet's 
Hist.  IF,  p.  326,  and  Philips's  Life  cfCard. 
Pole,  p.  .)  It  appears  by  the  writ  for 
the  reftitution  of  the  temporalities  of  that 
See,  (which  paffed  in  1558,  though  Pole  was 
elefted  Bilhop  in  1556)  that  he  had  been  pro- 
vided to  it  by  the  Pope's  Ball.  (RymerFced. 
T.  VI,  par  4.  p.  50,  and  62.)  Strype  indeed 
lays  that  he  was  fufliciently  blefled  and  for- 
tiried  with  papal  bulls,  having  many  adapted 
to  the  d  iterent  flages  of  his  promotion. 
(Eccl.Mem.  Ill,  p.  390.)  He  was  depri\-ed 
of  his  bifhopric  in  1559  for  denying  the 
Queen's  fupremacy,  but  being  a  grave  man,

WARDENS. 


L  Richard  Andrew,  LL.  D.  Chancellor  to  the  Founder,  and  one  of  the 
Executors  of  his  laft  will,  created  the  fir  ft  Warden  an.  1437.  He  was 
born  at  Abberbury,  commonly  called  Adderbury,  in  this  county,  bred 
in  Wynchefter  fchool,  then  in  New  College,  where  he  became  familiar 
with  the  Founder.  He  foon  after  [in  1442]  rcfigned  his  Wardenfhip, 
and  not  only  became  Secretary  to  the  King,  and  Keeper  of  the  Privy 
Seal,  but  by  a  falfe  and  turbulent  eledlon  (by  two  Canons  only,  and 
the  Prior  of  St.  Ofwald's)  Dean  of  York,  by  the  death  of  Will.  Felter, 
an.  (66)  145 1,  the  reft  of  the  canons  having  truly  chofen  one  John  Ber- 
nyngham  to  that  office.  Much  trouble  there  was  about  that  election, 
as  it  evidently  appears  elfwhere  {6y)  which  I  (hall  pafs  by  as  needlefs  to 


was  foon  releafed:  he  was  at  firfl  confined  within 
the  compafs  of  three  miles  round  the  city  of 
London,  but  was  afterwards  permitted  to  re- 
tire to  one  of  his  own  farms,  where  he  lived 
much  refpeifled,  till  the  time  of  his  death, 
which  was  not  till  the  latter  end  of  May,  or 
beginning  of  June,  1568.  (Ath.  Oxon.  I, 
697;  and  Strype's  Annals  I,  p.  275.)  He 
left  a  legacy  in  money,  and  a  confiderable 
number  of  books  to  this  College.  Some  dif- 
pute  probably  arofe  concerning  this  legacy ; 
for  a  receipt  was  no't  given  to  his  executor.

in  trail  to  difpofe  of  the  profits  thereof  in 
the  purchafe  of  the  perpetual  advowfon  of 
churches  to  them  and  their  fucceflbrs  for 
ever,  to  be  given  to  the  Fellows  of  the  Col- 
lege. The  fund  arifing  from  this  benefac- 
tion has  been,  at  different  times,  confiderably 
augmented  by  the  purchafe  of  a  fmall  piece 
of  land  in  the  Wardenfhip  of  Palmer,  and 
by  the  pecuniary  gifts  of  feveral  members 
of  this    bociety.     Among   the  rell  may   be 


mentioned  the  names  of  Stephen  Niblet, 
D.  D.  the  laft  Warden,  and  of  John  Sand- 
ford,  D.  D.  fometime  Fellow,  and  late  Rec- 
tor of  Chellesfield,  in  Kent;  and  it  may  be 
obferved,  that  out  of  this  judicious  fund  have 
been  purchafed  many  of  the  beft  livings  now 
in  the  prefentation  of  the  College.  Dr. 
Gwynne  gave  alfo  to  the  College  four  filver 
Salts,  and  the  brazen  Eagle,  which  not  long 
ago  flood  in  the  centre  of  the  Chapel.  (.Arch. 
Coll.)  He  was  a  Benefaftor  to  Jefus  College 
in  this  Univerfity,  and  Chancellor  of  Lan- 
dafF.  He  lived  till  about  the  time  of  Oliver 
Cromwell,  Protestor.    (Ath.  Oxon.  F,  L)] 

(65)  [It  had  been  granted  to  the  College 
by  Cardinal  Pole,  as  Queen  Mary's  Commif- 
fioner  to  grant  certain  Impropriate  Parfon- 
ages  then  belonging  to  the  Crown,  to  pious 
ufes,  as  mentioned  before.  On  the  Queen's 
death,  the  Bifhop  of  Wi.iton  claimed  it,  (it 
having  bsen  exchanged  by  his  Predeceifor) 
but  he  was  prevailed  on  by  LorJ  Burghley 
to  grant  it  to  the  Queen  that  fhe  might  re- 
ftore  it  to  the  College.  It  was  with  great  dif- 
ficulty however  that  the  Queen  was  induced 
to  part  with  it.]

yfWrfw  Lincoln.  Dioec.de  Villa  deAbburby.' 
He  was  afterwards  Fellow  for  fome  years.  In 
1437   he   was  Chancellor  of  the  diocefe  of 
Canterbury.     And   before  he  undertook-  his 
journey    to  Florence,    as  mentioned  before, 
Archbifhop    Chichele    collated    him    to    the 
Re.!lory  of  St,  Vedaft,  alias  Fofter,  in  Lon- 
don, July  24,  I  438.  He  refigned  it  two  years 
a,fter.  (Ncwc.  Repert.  I,  p.  565.)    In  1440 
he  was  Prolocutor  of  the  SynoJ,  then  held 
in  London,   (Wilkins  Concu,.  Ill,  p.  535.) 
and  in  the  fame  year  was  one  of  thofe  per- 
fons  to  whom  the  King  granted  the  cuftody 
of  the  alien  Priories  belonging  to  the  Crown. 
(Rymer  Feed,  V,  P  1,  p.  91 ,)  In  the  following 
year  he  was  collated  to  the  Archdeaconry  of 
Salilbury,  (on  the  promotion  of  Adam  Mo- 
kyns  to  the  Deanery  thereof)  which  he  re- 
figned in  1444   (Le  Neve's  Fasti,  p.  275.) 
He  refigned  his  Wardenfhip  of  this  Society 
in  1442,  the  College  then  being  fufficiently 
finiflied  for    the    reception    of  its  members. 
In  1443  he  was  appointed  the  King's  Secre- 
tary, and  was  employed,  in  that  capacity,  in 
an  embafiy  of  great  importance,  and  in  its 
confequence  produftive  of  ftrange  and  won- 
derful events  ;  being  one  of  the  AmbalTadors 
fent    to  France  to  treat  concerning  a  peace 
between  the  two  kingdoms,  and  of  a  mar- 
riage between  King  Hen.  V,  and  the  Princefs 
Margaret  of  Anjou,  (Rymer's  Feed,  ut  fup, 
p.  130,   133.)    Both  which    being  effefted, 
Andrew   was   appointed   to    attend  the    new 
Queen  in  France,  and  to  conduft  her  to  Eng- 
land,   In  confideration  of  thefe  his  fervices, 
the  King  by  his  writ  of  Pi  ivy  feal,  confirmed 
by  Parliament,  and    dated  iVIay    15,    1445, 
(Rymer  Feed,  ut  fup.  p,  142)  granted  him 
an  annuity  of  lool.     He  was  afterwards  em- 
ployed in  various  treaties  v/ith  Scotland,  by 
Hen.  VI,  as  well  as  Edw.  IV.    (Ibid.  T,  v. 
Par.  II,  p.  10,  12,  13,  15,  16,  25,32,  34.4». 
47,  85,  86,  127,  131.)    'Tis  not  certain  he 
was  ever  Keeper  of  the  Privy  Seal;    At  the 


time  he  was   Secretary  Adam  Moleyns  en- 
joyed this  office.  (lb.  P,  i,  p.  i  33.)  In  1451  he 
was  inftalled  Canon  of  Windfor.    (Le Neve's 
Fasti,    379)    And  in    the   fame   year   was 
ele<fted  Dean  of  York,     The  three  JEledtors 
abovementioned  lodged  an  appeal  againftthe 
eledion    of  Bermyngham.     The    reafon    of 
this  difunion  cannot   be  difcovered,  nor  the 
grounds  upon  which  the  appeal  was  founded, 
as  the  authors  quoted  in  the  preceding  Note 
(67)  are  totally  filent  upon  thefe  points.  Per- 
haps it  was  in  conlequence  of  the  King's  re- 
commendation,   but  this  is  conjedlure  only. 
H.  VI,  after  this  vicious  and  unjuft  eleftion, 
as  it  Is  called,  granted  Andrew  a  licenfe  to 
accept  of  this  Deanry  by  the  Pope's  Bull  of 
Provifion.     This  he  obtained  from    Nicho- 
las V,  who  at  the  fame   time  made  void  the 
eleftion  of  Bermyngham:    Gafcoigne  attri- 
butes this  to  the  bribery  of  Andrew  :    '  Et 
fic  factum  fuit  Romae  per  pecunias  praedidi 
Ricardi : '  a  charge  probably  founded  upon 
bare  fufpicion,  and  the  notorious  venality  of 
the  Court  of  Rome.     The  Canons  refufcd  to 
pay  obedience  to  the  Papal  Buil,  and  wou'd 
not  admit  Andrew  into  the  Deanery.     The 
Pope  was  now  obliged  to  launch  the  thun- 
ders  of  the   Church,    many  of  the  Canons 
were  excommunicated  by  his  Bulls,  and   the 
Cathedral  Church  of  York  was  iiiterdidled  for. 
feveral  weeks;  '  ita  quod  nee  matutina  nee 
aliqua  Mifla  fuit  in  ilia  Ecclefia  per  plures 
feptimanas  nee  Vefperas.'     But  at  laft  they 
were  reduced  to  obedience,  and  Andrew  was 
confirmed    Dean    of  York   Jan.    21,    1451.- 
(Le  Neve,  315  )    It  is  faid  by  Drake,  in  his 
Hist,  of  York  Cath.  p.  564,  that  he  was  not 
perfonally    admitted    till    June    1454.       Ori 
Nov.  8,  1462,  he  was  polTefied  of  the  Arch- 
deaconry of  Buckingham,  but  when  he  was 
preferred  to  that  dignity   does   not   appear. 
(Le  Neve,  168.     Willis's  SuRv.  of  Cath.  J, 
p.  68.)    He  bad  been  a  great  Benefaftor  to 
this  College,  not  only  by  his  advice  and  af- 
fillance  at  the  time  of  its  foundation,  but  by 
various  gifts  of  Copes,  and  other  ecclefialli- 
cal    veftments,    of  Chalices   and   of  Books. 
Befides  thefe  he  had  expended  ico  marcs  at 
diiFerent  times  on  the  Buildings  of  the  Col-

n.  Roger  Keyes,  LL.  B.  fucceeded  Dr.  Andrew,  but  the  year  v/hen  ap- 
peareth  not.  He  was  Chantor  of  Exeter  Cathedral,  (70)  and  there  was 
buried  as  'tis  faid  in  the  Cathedral  church.  (71) 

III.  William  Kele,  M.  A.  of  the  diocefe  of  Wells,  fucceeded  in  the  month 
of  July  1445,  and  died  about  Oft.  22,  an.  1459.  (7^) 


ration  of  thefe  benefits,  the  College  admit- 
ted him  '  quoad  fuffragia,'  a  Brother  of  this 
Society.  The  inftrument  of  this  adraifiion 
is  dated  Apr.  20,  1469.  They  alfo  engaged, 
by  Indent,  dat.  Oft.  26,  1471,  to  celebrate 
his  obit  annually,  and  to  give  on  the  day 
preceding  four  pence  to  the  bellman  of  the 
city,  to  invite  by  proclamation  all  good 
Chrittians  to  offer  a  prayer  for  his  foul.  (Reg. 
Coll.  I,  24,  a.)  Before  his  death  he  refigned  all 
his  ecclefiaftical  preferments:  in  1474  his 
Archd.  of  Bucks,  and  on  June  2,  1477,  his 
Deanryof  York.  (LeNeve,  168,  3 15.  Willis, 
1,68.)  Soon  after  tliis  )aft  refignation  he  made 
his  will :  It  is  dated  Sept.  12,  1477.  He  left 
various  legacies,  and  among  others  one  to  the 
poor  of  Adderbury,  and  another  to  the  Ca- 
thedral of  St.  Afaph.  Willis  (Surv.  I,  68.) 
makes  no  doubt  but  that  he  was  either  Canon 
or  Dean  of  this  Church;  but  his  opinion 
feems  to  be  founded  upon  no  other  circum- 
ftance  than  this  bequeft.  He  left  alfo  to  this 
College  two  filver  gilt  Lavatories,  and  the 
fum  of  40I.  on  condition  that  they  faid  every 
day  after  dinner  in  the  Hall,  certain  Pfalms 
and  Prayers  for  the  fafety  of  his  foul.  The 
College,  on  the  receipt  of  this  legacy,  bound 
themfelves  to  perform  thefe  conditions,  &c. 
by  an  obligation  bearing  date  Nov.  30, 1479. 
(Reg.  Coll,  I.  32,  a  )  Our  Author  fixes  the 
day  of  his  death  in  1479,  aad  probably  from 
the  date  of  this  obligation.  The  MSS  alfo 
of  the  College,  though  erroneoufly,  have 
the  fame  date.  He  died  in  1477,  fometime 
between  the  date  cf  his  will,  Sept.  12,  and 
Nov.  5,  following;  for  on  that  day  his  will 
was  proved.  He  was  buried  in  the  fouth 
Crofs  aile  of  the  Cathedral  of  York,  where  he 
had  founded  a  Chauntry,  and  there  was  an 
Infcription  on  his  Graveftone  now  perifhed. 
(Willis,  as  before.)]

ter, and  died  there  11  Nov,  1470.  So  the

(71)  IRoger  Keys  was  nominated  with  Tho- 
mas Moore  in  1442,  on  the  refignation  of 
Richard  Andrew,  to  fucceed  him  in  the  of- 
fice of  Warden.    They  were  returned  to  the 


Archbifhop,  who  appointed  Keys.  ("MSS. 
Coll.)  On  Mar.  6,  1443,  ^e  was  collated  by 
the  Archbifliop  to  the  Reftory  of  St.  Dun- 
ftan  in  the  eaft,  in  London,  which  he  refigned 
fometime  in  the  year  1452.  (Ncwc.  Repert. 
I.  333.)  About  the  year  1445  or  6,  he  was 
appointed  one  of  the  Prebendaries  of  St.  Paul's 
Cathed.  This  he  refigned  in  1448,  ("lb.  149  ) 
and  Jan.  25,  1449,  was  collated  to  the  Arch- 
deaconry of  Barum  in  the  diocefe  of  Exeter. 
7  he  time  when  he  refigned  this  office  does  not 
appear  ;  only  that  in  1462  Will.  Folfbrd  was 
in  pofleflion  of  it.  In  1469  Keys  enjoyed  the 
dignity  of  Pra;centor  of  Exeter,  but  how  long 
before  or  after  is  not  known.  (Le  Neve,  98, 
87.)  During  the  time  of  his  Wardcnfhip  he 
attefted  the  Founder's  Statutes,  and  from 
thence  it  appears  that  he  was  a  Bachelor  of 
Canon  Law.  (MSS.  Coll.)  He  is  faid  to 
have  refigned  the  office  of  Warden  July  15, 
1445,  probably  on  his  appointment  to  the 
Prebend  of  St.  Paul's.  He  died  at  Exeter, 
but  the  time  of  his  death  is  uncertain,  though 
it  was  in  all  probability  in  1477;  for  in  that 
year  John  Stubbs,  his  apparent  fuccefTor  in 
his  Prajcentorfhip,  was  collated  to  that  dig- 
nity. (Le  Neve,  88.)  He  made  this  College 
a  prefent  of  a  Cup  with  a  Cover,  double  gilt, 
upon  which  was  a  figure  of  St.  Michael :  it 
weighed  36  ounces.]

Bath  and  Wells;  for  under  that  title  we  fin  J 
him  prefented  by  the  College  May  25,  I454> 
to  the  living  of  Elmly.  (Reg.  I.  p.  13.) 
Though  he  is  not  mentioned  as  fuch  by  Le 
Neve,  He  refigned  this  Church  in  1457, 
when  William  Lawrence  was  prjfented  in 
his  room.  In  Newcourt  (Repert,  I,  p.  515.) 
a  W.  Kele  is  mentioned  to  htve  been  pre- 
fented to  the  Vicarage  of  St.Olave  ]ew\y  in 
London,  in  1445  j  but  if  ^-inies  Hatton  was 
his  immediate  fucce. !br,  ?*  he  appears  to  be, 
he  was  not  the  fame  wi«i  our  Warden.  By 
his  will  he  left  all  his  joods  for  the  payment 
of  his  debts,  and  forpious  ufes,  having  ap- 
pointed  William  Valker  and  David  Wil- 
liam his  executor.  This  appears  from  an

(Reg.  I,  15  b.  16  b.  19  b.)     In  1460,  Aug.

ding  Aha  in   Middlefex,  which  he  did  not

Rcftory  of  Chelmsford   in  Eflex.     He  was 
alfo  one  of  the  Preb.  of  St.  Paul's.  (Newc.

Feb.  9,  he  was  collated  to  a  Preb.  in  the 
church  of  Line,  which  he  afterwards  quitted 
for  ont  in  York.     (Willis's  Surv.  Ill,  182  ) 
Jan.  2,  1466,  he  was  prefented  by  the  Col-

20  b.  In  the  n/^rgin  are  thefe  words ;  '  Etfic 
coUigi  poteft  ^^'   Poteman  officio  receffiffe.') 
In  this  year  he  r»figned  his  Prebend  of  St. 
Paul'?,  and  the  Rectory  of  Chelmsford.     He 
fcems    now    to  have  no  other   ecclefiaftical 
preferment  than  his  P^bei.d  of  Lincoln,  for 
the  patronage  of  Trenre  was  difputed  be-

Canterbury^  the  former  chiming  it  from  the 
gift  of  Chichele,  the  latter  jure  Archiepifco-

Archdeaconry  of  Cliveland  in  the  province 
ofYork.  (Newc.  Repert.  I,  210  :  Willis's

Edw.  IV  as  CommifTary  in  fettling  difputes 
between  England  and  Scotland.  (Rymer 
Feed.  V,  par.  in.  p.  18,  29,  59.)  fn  this

VIII.  John  Coale,  M.  A.  one  of  the  King's  Chaplains,  eleded  1524.  He 
built  and  endowed  a  fchool  within  the  fice  of  the  monaftery  at  Faver- 
fliam  in  Kent,  18  Hen.  VIII,  making  and  appointing  the  Warden  and 
Fellows  of  All  Souls  the  eledlors,  and  the  Abbat  of  the  place  the  ad- 
mitter,  of  the  Mafter  thereof.  (76)  About  the  fame  time,  or  a  little 
after,  one  John  Incent,  LL.  D.  Fellow  of  this  Houfe,  and  afterward 
Dean  of  St.  Paul's  in  London,  built  and  founded  another  fchool  at  Ber- 
chamftede  in  Hertfordlhire,  {yy)  which  fchool  divers  of  this  College  have 
governed. 

IX.  Robert  Woodward,  Dodor  of  Decrees,  eledled  and  admitted  an.  1527. 
He  refigned  into  the  hands  of  the  Archbiftiop  of  Canterbury  1533,  and 
died  at  Northmore  near  Oxford,  and  v.'as  there  buried.  [He  probably 
was  Reclor  of  that  Church.] 

X.  Roger  Stokeley,  M.  A.  eleded  [10  March]  1533,  refigned  into  the 

Archbifhop's  hands  1536.  (78) 

XI.  John  Warner,  Dodtor  of  Phyfic,  and  Regius  Profeflbr  of  Phyfic  in 
this  Univerfity,  [being  the  firft  appointed  in  1535]  ele6led  [22]  May  an. 
1536,  refigned  into  the  hands  of  Dr.  Nicholas  Wotton,  Dean  of  Can- 
terbury, 14  Jan.  1555,  that  See  being  then  void,  {yg) 


(75)  [William  Broke  was  Vicar  of  Elmly, 
and  Reftor  of  Harrietfham,  on  the  prefenta- 
tion  of  the  College:  and  in  1520  became 
Commiflary  of  the  Univerfity.  He  founded 
a  Chantry  in  this  College  Chapel ;  made  his 
will  Sept.  7,  1525,  and  died  before  the  Nov. 
following.  In  his  will  he  calls  himfelf  Vi- 
car  of  Prefton,  befides  Faverfhani,and  Parfon 
of  Harrietfham  and  Ightham,  in  Kent.  He 
was  probably  buried  at  Harrietfham.] 

(76)  [On  the  difTolution  of  the  Monaltery 
of  Faverfham,  the  fchool  expired,  but  was 
revived  by  Queen  Elizabeth,  who  veiled  the 
nomination  of  the  Mafter  in  the  Warden  and 
fix  fenior  Fellows  of  this  College.  The  Ma- 
tter's falary  was  increafed  in  1742  from  40I. 
to  60I.  per  annum.] 

(77)  [It  was  confirmed  by  an  Aft  of  Par- 
liament 2  and  3  Edw.  VI.  The  Warden  of 
this  College  is  the  Vifitor  of  this  School,  but 
the  appointment  of  the  Mafter  is  in  the 
Crown.  Warden  Coale  alio  gave  100  marcs 
to  this  College  for  the  building  of  a  new 
Quadrangle.  The  time  of  his  death  does 
not  appear  J  but  it  is  faid  that  he  was  buried 
at  Faverftiam.  (MSS.Coll.)] 

(78)  [Roger  Stokeley  lived  feveral  years  af- 
ter his  refignation  J  for  in  1553  it  appears 
ihat  he  fublcribed  40$,  towards  the  building 


of  the  Warden's  new  Lodgings.    (Hoveden's 
Book.)] 

(79)  [John  IVarner  in  I  529  was  the  Senior 
Prodlor  of  the  Univerfity,  and,  what  was 
very  unufual,  he  retained  his  office  during 
the  following  year,  in  confequence,  as  'tis 
faid,  of  letters  tranfmitted  by  Cardinal  Wol- 
ky.  After  he  was  elefted  Warden,  the  Col- 
lege prefented  him  to  the  living  of  Elmley, 
probably  on  the  ceflion  of  Nicholas  Bulling- 
ham  afterwards  Bilhop  of  Woiceftcr  :  on  i8 
May,  2  Edw,  VI,  he  leafed  it.  (Reg.  II,  10,  a.) 
On  19  Nov.  1549,  ,they  prefented  him  to 
Harrietfham,  vacant  by  the  death  of  Richard 
M'^gge*  (Ibid,  20,  a.)  Sir  John  Mafon,  his 
co-temporary  at  College,  was  his  great  pa- 
tron, who,  Apr.  30,  1547,  gave  him  a  Pre- 
bend of  St.  Paul's,  he  being  the  patron  of  it 
pro  ilia  vice.  (Newc.  Repert.  1.  149.)  In 
1550  it  appears  that  he  went  to  France  with 
the  King's  AmbafTador,  but  in  what  employ- 
ment is  not  certain.  (Reg.  I,  21  a.)  In  1554 
he  was  appointed  Vice-Chancellor  of  the 
Univerfity ;  (Fasti)  and  Oft,  27,  1555  he 
was  inftalled  a  Preb.  of  Lincoln,  (Willis's 
SuRv.  Ill,  264.)  It  is  faid  that  he  was  de- 
prived of  his  office  of  Warden  by  Q^  Mary  i 
(Bentham's  Hist,  of  Ely.)  but  that  is  not 
true.     It  is,  however,  moft  probable,  that  a

Cardinal  Pole  in  Sept.  1558,  but  never  came  to  the  College  for  admif- 
fion.  He  died  at  Lincoln  11  Nov.  1558,  and  was  buried  in  the  nave  of 
the  Cathedral  there-,  over  whofe  grave  was  a  large  ftone  laid,  with  an 
infcription  thereon,  but  defaced  an.  1643,  or  thereabouts.  (81) 

XIV.  Dr.  John  Warner  created  Warden  again  by  a  devolution  made  in 
the  eledion  of  a  Warden  by  the  Fellows,  in  the  month  of  Nov.  or  be- 
ginning of  Decemb.  an.  1558.  He  was  Archdeacon  of  Ely,  and  of 
Cleveland,  and  Dean  of  Winchefter  1559.  He  died  at  his  houfe  in  War- 
wick lane,  London,  21  March  1564,  (82)  and  was  fuccceded  in  the 
Deanery  of  Winchefter  by  Francis  Newton,  D.  D.  an.  1565. 


fecret  afFeftion  to  the  Proteftant  Religion, 
and  a  dread  of  perfecution  might  induce  him 
to  quit  fo  confpicuous  a  flation.  He  cer- 
tainly did  not  openly  oppofe  the  religion  of 
his  Queen,  for  he  not  only  kept  his  old  ec- 
clefiaftical  preferments,  but  obtained  Oct.  1 4, 
1557,  the  Reftory  of  Norwood  Chapel  in 
the  parifh  of  Hayes  in  Middlefex.  (Newc. 
Repert.  I,  640.)]

ihire,  upon  his  refignation  of  the  Rcftory  of 
Fladbury.  (Ath.  Oxon.  I,  F.  61.) 

He  was  alfo  Reftor  of  Newington  in  Ox- 
fordfhire.  In  Ofl.  1559  he  was  deprived  by 
Queen  Elizabeth  of  all  his  fpiritualities  for 
non  compliance,  and  his  deprivation  was 
foon  followed  with  imprifonment.]

John  Pope,  Od.  26,  1540,  was  collated  to 
the  Preb.  of  Welton  PaynfhuU  in  the  Cathe- 
dral of  Lincoln,  and  Aug.  24,  154^,  ob- 
tained the  Chancellorfliip  of  that  diocefe, 
having  firft  refigned  his  Prebend.  He  quit- 
ted this  office  in  1554  for  the  Archd.  of  Bed- 
ford, and  for  the  Preb.  of  Leigh  ton  Bofard  in 
Lincoln.  (Ibid.  91,  260.)] 

(82)  [On  Nov.  ly,  1558,  Queen  Mary 
died,  and  there  was  now  very  fortunately  a 
door  open  for  lVarner''i  re-admiffion  into  the 
office  of  Warden.  The  laft  Warden,  J.  Pope, 
died  but  a  few  days  before  the  Queen,  and 


the  fpace  of  time  between  his  death  and  that 
of  her'Majefty  was  not  fufiicient,  according 
to  their  Statutes,  to  enable  the  College  to 
proceed  to  a  new  eledion.  After  the  Queen's 
death  they  met  to  eleft  a  Warden;  but  the 
election  not  being  completed»  a  devolution 
was  made  to  the  Vifitor,  who  appointed  Dr. 
Warner.  (MSS.  Coll.)  In  1559  he  was  pre- 
ferred by  Queen  Elizabeth  to  a  Preb.  in  the 
church  of  Ely,  and  about  this  time  he  was 
alfo  a  Preb.' of  Salifbury.  (Willis's  Surv. 
111,376:  Bentham's  Ely.)  Nov.  11,  1559, 
he  was  made  Dean  of  Winchefter,  of  which 
place,  it  is  faid,  he  had  before  obtained  a 
Prebend.  He  refigned  his  Archd.  of  Ely 
before  1560,  and  that  of  Cliveland  in  1563 
or  4,  and  his  Preb.  of  Lincoln  in  1561.

In  1559  the  Queen  appointed  him  with 
others  to  vifit  the  Univerfity — to  remove 
every  thing  fuperftitious,  to  reinftate  thofe  in 
their  offices  who  had  fled,  or  been  expelled 
for  their  religion,  to  difannul  Pole's  ftatutes, 
to  fubftitute  the  grcatell  part  of  thofe  made 
in  her  Brother's  reign,  and  to  expel  fuch  as 
were  not  of  the  Proteitant  religion.  Thefe 
were  very  large  and  ample  powers;  but  the 
Univerfity  herfelf  bore  teftimony  to  the  mild 
and  prudent  manner  in  which  they  were  ex- 
ercifed  :  for  in  a  letter  to  the  Queen  fhe

THE  Buildings  of  the  College,  which  are  all  of  fair  free-ftone,  (lOO)  were 
erefled  at  the  firft  foundation  thereof,  and  hath  had  fince  thefe  added  :

the  common  walks  on  the  north  fide  of  the  College,  containing  two  Rooms 
with  chambers  over  them,  finifhed  an.  1675,  towards  the  building  of  which 
Roger  Gillingham,  Efq.  fometime  Clerk,  gave  230I.  and  the  College 
added  to  it  200I.  or  more,  to  finifh  it.  (103) 

IV.  The  addition  to  the  Warden's  Lodgings^  on  the  eaft  fide  of  thofe 
built  in  the  Founder's  time,  were  erected,  if  I  miftake  not,  by  Dr.  Hove- 
DEN,  the  firft  married  Warden,  at  the  College  charge.  (103*) 

[In  fubfequent  times  thefe  Lodgings  received  confiderable  improvements. 
In  1606  a  itudy,  &c.  was  built,  and  in  Warden  Hoveden's  time  he  added 
a  garden  to  them,  which  garden  was  fometime  the  Rofe  Inn.

Thefe  continued  to  be  the  habitation  of  the  Warden  till  the  beginning  of 
the  prefent  century.  In  1703  George  Clarke,  D.  C.  L.  fometime  Fel- 
low, intending  to  build  a  houfe  for  his  own  refidence,  agreed  with  the  Col- 
lege, that  upon  condition  of  their  granting  him  a  fpot  of  ground  within  the 
limits  of  it,  the  reverfion  of  the  Houfe  after  his  death  fhould  remain  to  the 
College.  Several  fpots  of  ground  were  in  contemplation,  but  at  laft  the  Col- 
lege, by  the  help  of  a  benefadion  of  200I.  given  for  that  purpofe  by  Ralph 
Snow,  Efq.  Treafurer  of  the  Houfhold,  at  Lambeth  Palace,  and  Regiftrary 
of  the  diocefe  of  Canterbury,  purchafed  an  houfe  adjoining  to  the  old  Lodg- 
ings, of  one  Joanna  Frye  for  190I  \  lol.  more  being  given  to  the  tenant  for 
his  removal. 

Upon  the  fite  of  this,  together  with  a  piece  of  the  Warden's  garden.  Dr. 
Clarke  built  his  Houfe,  which  is  now  the  Lodgings  of  the  Warden  :  At  the 
fame  time,  at  the  expenfe  of  the  College,  was  built  that  fingle  pile  of  build- 
inc^s  joining  the  old  Lodgings  to  the  new.  The  former  are  now  converted 
jnS)  Chambers  for  the  Fellows.  Dr.  Clarke  died  in  1736  (See  his  Epitaph  in 
the  Chapel)  and  left  by  his  will  fevcral  glaffes,  piftures,  &c.  for  the  ufe  of 
the  Lodgings;  and  the  prefent  Warden,  hath  much  improved  them  by  the  al- 
terations which  he  made  in  them  on  his  entrance  into  his  office. 

The  College  lately  purchafed  of  Magdalen  College  the  Houfe  &c.  adjoin- 
ing to  thefe  new  Lodgings.  It  was  pulled  down,  and  the  'a^t  of  it  is  now 
added  to  them. 

The  north  or  new  Quadrangle  was  built  in  the  beginning  of  the  prefent 
century,  chiefly  at  the  expenfe  of  feveral  generous  benefadors.  It  is  172 
feet  in  length,  and  155  in  breadth,  having  the  Library  on  the  north,  the 
Chapel  and  Hall  on  the  fouth,  the  Cloifter  on  the  weft,  and  the  Common 
Room  and  other  apartments,  and  two  Gothic  towers,  on  the  eaft. 

The  building  between  the  Hall  and  the  Tower  was  in  great  meafure 
ereftedby  the  liberality  of  Sir  N.  Lloyd,  Knt.  fometime  Fellow,  (104).  For

moner of  Lincoln  College  in  this  L^niverfity, 
and  in  the  year  1689  was  admitted  into  a 
Fellowihip  of"  this  College.  He  took  his  de- 
grees in  Civil  Law,  and  purfued  the  profef- 
fion  of  it  in  the  courts  at  Dodors  Commons 
with  great  reputation  and  emolument.  He 
was  OfHcial  of  Surrey,  appointed  Advocate 
General  to  Q^  Anne,  knighted,  and  was  cho- 
fen  Mailer  of  Trinity  Hall  in  Cambridge  in 
1710,  and  for  fome  time  kept  his  abovenamed 
Fellowihip  with  his  Mafterfhip,  which  laft, 
together  with  all  his  other  preferments,  he 
voluntarily  refigned  in  1735,  when  he  retired 
to  Richmond  in  Surrey,  where  he  died  at  the 
age  of  70,  March  30,  1741,  and  was  bu- 
ried in  the  Chapel  of  Trinity  Hall.  By  his 
will,  dated  on  the  day  of  All  Souls,  1740,  he 
left,  among  many  other  legacies,  his  books 
and  3000I.  to  Trinity  Hall,  to  be  expended 
in  the  new  Buildings  of  that  Society.  He 
left  alfo  to  the  College  of  All  Souls  the  fum 
of  loool.  which  conftituted  a  part  of  the 
1200I.  above  mentioned. 

It  appears  from  a  letter  of  Bifliop  Tanner, 
that  he  was  a  very  worthy  honeil  man,  but 
full  of  innocent  particularities,  and  liable,  to 
ufe  the  Bilhop's  own  term,  to  impreflions.

for  the  fum  of  1 183I.  to  complete  it,  but  the  Duke  dying  in  circumftances 
much  involved,  it  was  with  great  difficulty,  and  not  till  many  years  after  his 
death,  that  the  debt  was  totally  recovered.  (105) 


(105)  [Mr.  Walpole  makes  this  obferva- 
tion  on  this  Quadrangle :  "  Gibbs,  fays  he, 
was  more  fortunate  in  the  Quadrangle  of 
All  Souls,  which  has  blundered  into  a  pic- 
turefque  fcenery,  not  void  of  grandeur,  efpe- 
cially  if  fcen  through  the  Gate  that  leads 
from  the  Schools,"  (Anecd.  of  Painting, 
Vol.  IV,  p.  46.) 

Whatever  blunder  there  may  be  in  the  ar- 
chitedlure  of  this  building,  Mr.  Walpole  is 
much  miflaken  in  his  fafts.  Gibbs  was  not 
the  architect :  it  was  Hawkefmoor :  and 
he  himfelf  in  a  few  pages  of  the  fame  vo- 
lume precedent  to  this,  (43)  tells  us,  that 
Hawkefmoor  "  rebuilt  fome  part  of  All 
Souls,  the  two  Towers  over  the  Gate  of  which 
are  copies  of  his  own  Steeple  of  St.  Ann's 
Limehoufe."  Nor  was  there  any  blundering 
in  the  work:  what  was  done  was  done  in- 
tentionally. The  new  Libiary  was  built  in 
conformity  to  the  Chapel,  and  it  was  the  in- 
tention of  the  architeft  of  the  new  buildings  to 
build  them  in  the  fame  Ityle  with  thefe,  viz. 
in  the  Gotliic.    The  plans  of  thcfe  buildings 


are  engraved,  from  which  it  appears  beyond 
doubt  that  Hawkefmoor  was  the  Architect. 
His  name  is  to  them.  And  there  are  many 
letters  that  paffed  between  Dr.  Clarke  and 
Hawkefmoor  relative  to  thefe  buildings,  and 
many  receipts  for  money  paid  to  him  on  their 
account.  (Archiv.  A.  S.  C.) 

It  is  probable  that  a  fight  of  fome  of  thefe 
plans  has  led  Mr.  Walpole  into  another  mif- 
take  concerning  the  '  two  Towers  over  the 
Gate.'  It  was  the  intent  of  the  College  to 
have  ornamented  the  old  Front  towards  the 
ftreet.  Hawkefmoor  gave  a  plan,  and  in 
that  plan  there  are  two  Towers.  It  was  ne- 
ver executed. 

With  regard  to  the  Duke  of  Wharton's 
Buildings,  the  Authdr  of  Dr.  Young's  Life 
fays,  that  his  '  Grace's  regard  for  Young, 
added  to  his  luft  of  praife,  procured  to  All 
Souls  College  a  Donation  which  is  not  for- 
gotten by  the  Dedication  of  the  Revenge.'

In  1710  Christopher  CoDRINGTO^f,  Efq.  (108)  left  by  will  the  fum  of 
io,oool.  to  the  College  for  the  purpofe  of  building  a  new  Library,  together 
with  a  large  colleftion  of  valuable  books.  The  College  determined  to  build 
the  exterior  part  of  it  after  the  model  of  the  Chapel,  and  Sir  Nathaniel  Lloyd 
and  Dr.  Clarke  were  appointed  the  infpedors  of  the  work.  (109) 


(io8)  [Christopher  Codrington  was 
born  in  the  ifland  of  Barbadoes  in  the  year 
1 668.  Coming  over  to  England,  he  received 
his  education  firft  at  a  private  fchool,  and  af- 
terwards removed  to  Chrill  Church  in  this 
Univerfity  in  1685  ;  where  having  taken  one 
degree  in  Arts^  he  was  admitted  fellow  of 
this  College  in  1689.  Quitting  the  Univer- 
fity, but  retaining  his  Fellowfhip,  he  entered 
into  the  army,  and  foon  recommended  him. 
felf  to  the  notice  of  K.  William,  by  whom  he 
was  honoured  with  promotion.  On  the  con- 
clufion  of  the  peace  at  RyCwick  he  was  ap- 
pointed Captain  General  and  Governor  in 
Chief  of  the  Leward  Carribbee  Iflands ;  in 
which  he  met  with  fome  trouble  ^  for  in 
1 70 1  feveral  articles  were  exhibited  againfl: 
him  to  the  Houfe  of  Commons  in  England, 
but  he  was  honourably  acquitted  from  all 
imputations.  In  1703  he  vv'as  at  the  attack 
upon  Gaudaloupe,  belonging  to  the  French, 
in  which  he  Ihewed  great  bravery,  though 
that  enterpriie  happened  to  be  unfuccefsful. 
Some  time  before  hi^  death  he  refigned  his 
government,  and  retired  to  the  enjoyment  of 
a  ftudious  and  learned  courfe  of  life,  which 
ended  at  his  feat  in  Barbadoes,  on  Good 
Friday,  Apr.  7,  1710.  Ke  was  buried  firll 
in  the  Church  of  St.  Michael  in  that  Ifland; 
but  his  body  was  afterwards  brought  over  to 
Eiagland,  and  interred  in  the  Chapel  of  this 
College  June  19,  1716.  Two  Latin  Orations 
to  his  memory  were  fpoken  by  two  Fellows 
of  this  Society  ;  the  one  by  Digby  Cotes, 
M.  A.  the  Public  Orator  of  the  Univerfity, 
at  his  interment;  the  other  the  next  day  by 
Edward  Young,  B.  C.  L.  at  the  laying  the 
foundation  ftone  of  the  new  Library.  (Both 
publiflied  at  Oxford,  Odavo,  171 6:  See  alfo 
Dr.  Young's  Works,  Vol.  VI,  p.  129.)  By 
his  laft  will  he  aHo  bequeathed  h'n  two  planta- 
tions in  Barbadoes,  and  part  of  the  Illand  of 
Barbuda,  to  the  Society  for  the  Propogation 
of  the  Gofpel  in  foreign  parts;  for  the  pur- 
pofe of  building  a  College  in  Barbadoes ;  in 
which  he  appointed  that  a  certain  number  of 


ProfefTors  and  Scholars  fhould  be  maintained, 
who  are  to  be  obliged  to  ftudy  and  praflife 
Phyfic  and  Chirurgery,  as  well  as  Divinity. 
This  Benefaclion  is  valued  at  above  2000I. 
a  year.  (Biog.  Brit,  under  the  article  Co- 
drington.) 

(109)  [Two  tenements  and  an  orchard, 
which  the  College  had  holden  for  feveral 
years  by  leafe,  were  purchafed  for  it ;  on  the 
lite  of  which  it  was  erefted.  All  thefe  were 
vetted  in  the  Mayor  of  Oxford,  the  Provoft 
of  Oriel,  and  other  Truftees,  for  the  ufe  of 
the  church  and  poor  of  the  parifli  of  St.  Ma-

171  5,  enabling  the  Truftees  to  fell  the  premi- 
fes  to  the  College,  and  as  they  are  all  accu- 
rately defcribed  in  it,  I  fhall  tranfcribe  the 
words  of  the  Aft.  The  firft  tenement  is 
there  defcribed  as  fituate  on  the  eaft  fide  of 
Cat  ftreet,  abutting  north  on  the  backfide  of 
Hart  Hall,  fouth,  on  a  tenement  late  in  the 
occupation  of  Sarah  Fulke,  and  eall  on  an 
orchard  in  the  poffeffion  of  All  Souls  Col-

then  in  the  pofteftion  of  Charles  Thuiwell,

were  glazed  in  the  body  of  the  Chapel,  and

(on  St.  Editha's  day,  viz.  the  i6th  of  Sep- 
tember, which  was  long  celebrated  in  the 
College  by  an  annual  fcall,  as  appears  from

It  muft  be  noted,  that  at  the  upper  end  of  the  Chapel,  in  the  eaft  wall, 
were  coltly  Statues  (fome  fay  of  filver)  fet  up  in  the  Founder's  time,  (115*) 
which  continuing  till  the  reformation  of  religion,  were  then  taken  down. 
The  niches  remained  till  an.  1664,  at  what  time  the  Chapel  was  adorned 
with  painting,  being  then  flopped  with  flones  and  mortar. 

Rob.  Este,  L.  L.  B.  fometime  Fellow,  did  by  his  will,  made  10  Apr.

[The  interior  part  of  the  Chapel  has  been  totally  altered  fince  the  time  Ed'wari 
of  the  Founder,  by  the  means  of  many  grateful  contributions  from  thofc  P.  cffTa. 
who  had  been  Fellows  of  the  College.  In  1633  the  College  intended  to 
have  eftablifhed  a  Choir  with  an  organ,  but  the  troubles  foon  after  breakinc^ 
out,  the  defign  was  dropt.  After  the  Reftoration,  they  repaired  and  beautf- 
fied  the  Chapel.  Rob.  Streater,  Sergeant  Painter  to  King  Charles  II,  a  very 
celebrated  Artift,  painted  the  Ceiling,  which  is  now  covered  over  by  painted 
canvafs.  (116)  If  he  painted  any  other  part  it  is  deftroyed.  Early  in  the 
prefent  century.  Dr.  Clarke,  beforementioned,  a  man  of  great  tarte  in  ar- 
chitecture, and  a  confiderable  benefactor  to  the  Society,  promoted  by  his 
liberality  the  adorning  of  the  Chapel.  He  gencroufly  gave  the  prefenc 
marble  Altar-piece,  furnifhcd  it  with  two  large  gilt  Candlefticks,  a  pur- 
ple velvet  Communion  cloth,  fringed  with  gold,  &c.  and  alfo  ftirred  up,

of  Sir  William  Portman,  Knt.  of  the  Bath,  and  Bart,  employed  the  cele- 
brated hand  of  Sir  James  Thornhill  to  paint  the  Refurreclion  of  the  Founder, 
over  the  Altar.  It  is  called  the  *'  Refurreftio  veftita,"  becaufe  it  reprefents 
the  Founder's  Refurreclion  in  his  Archiepifcopal  Robes.  Mr.  Port- 
Tortman.  MAN,  whofe  Arms  are  under  this  Painting,  viz.  a  Fleur  de  lis.  Azure, 
gave  200I.  and  Mr.  John  Webb,  M.  A.  fometime  Fellow,  and  afterward 
Redlor  of  Breedon  in  Worceflerfliire,  2cl.  towards  it.  Hon.  Dodington 
Greville,  Efq.  alfo  engaged  Sir  James  to  paint  the  cieling,  the  urns  on 
each  fide  of  the  fteps,  (the  bas  relief  of  which  reprefents  the  inftitution  of 
the  two  Sacraments)  and  the  figures  between  the  windows,  reprefenting  the 
four  Fathers  beforementioned,  K.  Henry  V,  Reginald  Pole,  Archbi- 
Ihop  of  Canterbury,  K.  Henry  VI,  and  the  Founder,  Thomas  Duke  of 
Clarence,  and  Humph.  Duke  of  Gloucester.  The  benefa6tion  amounted 
to  262I.  IDS.  The  Screen  and  the  other  ornaments  were  finifhed  at  the  ex- 
penfe  of  the  College,  amounting  to  400I.  Sir  James  Thornhill  planned 
thefe  alterations;  though  Sir  Christopher  Wren,  Kt.  fometime  Fellow 
of  this  Society,  and  D.  C.  L.  had  probably  been  confulted,  as  there  is  among 
his  Drawings,  preferved  in  the  Library,  a  beautiful  Screen,  which  from  the 
arms  of  Chichele  upon  it  was  in  all  likelihood  defigned  for  the  College. 

The  Chapel  has  very  lately  received  great  additional  ornament  by  the  pic- 
ture which  adorns  the  Altar,  called  the  Noli  me  tangere,  reprefenting  our 
Saviour's  appearance  to  Mary  Magdalene  in  the  garden.  It  was  painted  by 
Raphael  Antonio  Mengs  at  Rome  •,  for  which  he  received  300  Guineas,  and 
the  fubfequent  expenfe  amounted  to  nearly  lool.  miOre.  The  windows  have 
been  alfo  painted  by  Lovegrove  of  Marlow,  Bucks.

whofe  Album  alfo  doth  not  allov/  it;  untefs  he  had  been  of  the  number  of 
their  Chaplains  or  Poftmafters.  But  in  whatfoever  place  he  was  educated  is 
not  now  to  be  difputed,  becaufe  the  general  vogue  is  for  the  College  of 
William  of  Wykeham. 

He  being  Prieft  was  admitted  to  the  Redory  of  Wraxall  in  the  dioccfc 
of  Bath  and  Wells,  by  the  refignation  of  Nich.  Sturgeon  17  May,  1433,  ^7 
tht  prefentation  of  Tlieobald  Gorges,  and,  being  Chaplain,  became  Reftor 
of  Chedfey  in  com.  Somerf.  on  the  death  of  Simon  Brayles  in  June  1469, 
by  the  prefentation  of  Alice,  Duchefs  of  Suffolk  :  in  the  beginning  of  March 
following  refigned  it ;  whereupon  Thomas  Northwyke,  Prior  of  Eye  of  the 
Order  of  St.  Benedid,  in  Norwich  Diocefe,  fucceeded  him  21  March  1469, 
per  prefentat.  Alicise  &c. 

From  thefe  then  (if  it  be  fo)  he  ftept  through  divers  preferments  to  the 
Bi(hoprick  of  Winchefler,  being  then,  always  after,  no  more  (5)  than  a  Ba- 
chelor of  Divinity,  a  degree  not  common  in  his  time.  Among  the  faid  pre- 
ferments the  (6)  Mafterlhip  of  Winchefter  School  was  one,  where  he  conti- 
nued twelve  years  and  upward  -,(7)  and  then  he  was  advanced  by  the  King 
to  be  Provoft  of  Eton  College,  by  Windfor,  in  memory  of  which  he  added  Pa/rfn.

Being  fettled  in  the  Bifhoprick  of  Winchefter,  and  thereupon  growing 
rich  and  honourable,  gave  him  great  encouragement  for  the  eredion  of  fomc 
monument  to  his  name  in  Oxford,  as  firft  an  Hall,  then  a  College,  to  the 
memory  of  St.  Mary  Magdalen,  of  which  in  order. 

For  the  foundation  of  the  firft  he  obtained  (8)  licenfe  of  K.  Hen.  VI, 
dated  6  May,  an.  reg.  26,  Dom.  1448,  enabling  him  vvithall  to  fettle  therein 
a  Prefident  and  fifty  Graduat  Scholars,  or  more  or  lefs,  to  be  augmented  or 
diminiftied  according  as  the  revenues  either  increafe  or  decreafe,  to  endow  it 
with  an  lool.  per  an,  and  to  give  the  faid  Prefident  and  Scholars  a  common 
feal  to  perform  the  bufinefs  of  their  Houfe.  This  being  done,  the  Founder 
employed  one  John  Godmanfton,  of  EfTex,  Efq.  to  obtain  a  fite,  whereon  he 
might  erecft  it  \  and  having  had  conference  with  the  Mafter  and  Brethren  of

breadth  "^y  feet,  and  was  ftanding  till  Dr.  Rawlinfon  (as  I  take  it)  Principal 
of  Edmund  Hall,  pulled  it  down,  and  in  its  place  built  that  fair  tenement 
now  ftanding  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  ancient  Inn  called  the  Saracen's  Head, 
in  St.  Peter's  parifti  in  the  eaft.  Hare  Hall  contained  yc,  feet  in  length,  and 
66  in  breadth,  and  did  ftand  on  the  fouth  fide  of  Boftar  Hail,  that  is  to  fay, 
on  the  garden  plot  that  now  belongs  to  the  faid  tenement,  having  had  its 
front  looking  into  Hare  hall  lane. 

All  this  being  done,  the  Prefident  and  Scholars  of  the  faid  Hall  made  a 
farther  purchafe  of  tenements  (for  years  only)  for  the  enlargement  of  the 
fite  ;  namely,  four  (13)  tenements  of  Univerfity  College,  two  of  which  ftood 
next  on  the  eaft  fide  of  Magdalen,  alias  Boftar  Hall,  one  excepted  called  the 
Saracen*s  head,  which  was  rented  alfo  by  the  faid  Scholars  of  the  Prodors 
of  our  Lady's  Chapel  in  St.  Peter's  church  in  iht  eaft,  for  forty  fliiliings 
annual  rent.  The  other  two  ftood  between  Horfmuli  lane  and  Univerfity 
College,  of  which  little  Univerfity  Hall  was  one.  This  being  done,  the 
Founder  was  even  upon  the  point  of  pulling  down  moft  of  the  faid  tene- 
ments to  enlarge  the  ^\\.^  of  his  Hall,  and  to  make  additions  to  it,  but  his

h^nd  being  ftaid  upon  a  fair  promife  of  a  better  manfion  for  his  Scholars,  de- 
fifted  and  waited  till  it  could  take  effedl. 

Thus  much  may  be  faid  of  Magdalen  Hall,  the  firft  foundation  that 
Founder  made  for  for  literature  in  Oxford.  Which  place  all  writers,  and 
others,  hitherto  have  taken  to  be  Magdalen  Hall,  (landing  near  the  com- 
mon gate  of  Magdalen  College,  but  all  much  deceived,  as  may  not  only  ap- 
pear from  the  premifes,  but  from  that  which  fliall  be  faid  of  Magdalen  Hall 
hereafter,  this  having  been  the  tenement  next  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  Sara- 
cens  head>  as  I  have  before  told  you. 

As  for  the  foundation  of  the  College,  tranflation  of  the  Scholars  of  Mag- 
dalen Hall,  and  other  matters  relating  thereunto,  muft  be  my  purpofe  now 
to  mention  fo  far,  and  no  farther  than  record  allows  me.  The  Founder 
therefore,  having  had  full  intentions  to  fettle  and  eftablilh  the  faid  monu- 
ment, as  well  to  the  memory  of  his  own  name,  as  good  of  the  realm,  ad- 
drefled  himfelf  to  K.  Hen.  VI,  and  declared  his  mind  more  fully  to  him. 
The  King  in  the  mean  time  feeming  willingly  to  hear  him,  did  endeavour 
(as  tradition  goes)  to  have  perfuaded  him  to  build  his  College  at  Cambridge,, 
but  the  Founder,  defiring  to  be  excufed,  told  him,  that  his  defigns  were, 
with  his  good  leave,  and  partly  by  his  promife,  to  convert  St.  John  Bap- 
tift^s  Hofpital  in  Oxford,  of  his  Predeceflbr's  foundation,  into  a  College  for 
Students.  "  Well,  Mafter  William,  (replied  the  King)  "  if  it  be  fo  in  good 
deed,  I  am  glad  to  hear  of  your  godly  intentions.  What  afTiftance  in  this 
matter  you  would  that  I  ihould  do,  Mafter  William,  I  will  forthwith 
do  it.  &c." 

Soon  after,  viz.  27  Sept.  in  the  35th  year  of  his  reign^  Dom.  1456,  the 
King  (14)  gave  licenfe  to  the  Hofpitallers  to  make  a  furrender  of  their  Hof- 
pital into  the  hadns  of  the  Prefident  and  Scholars  of  Magdalen  Hall,  and  the 
27  061.  following  the  advowlbn  thereof  to  the  Founder.  Which  licenfe 
they  receiving,  and  afterwards  making  an  agreement  with  the  Prefident  and 
Scholars  for  their  maintenance  during  their  lives,  furrendered  their  (15)  Hof- 
pital and  advowfon  thereof  into  their  hands  5  July  following,  and  at  another 
(16)  time,  in  the  year  1457,  all  their  manors,  lands,  pofTefTions,  whether 
fpiritual  or  temporal,  with  meflliages,  tenements,  &c.  and  whatfoever  be- 
longed to  them. 

So  that  the  faid  Hofpital  being  furrendered,  and  a  little  while  after  united 
to  Magdalen  Hall,  the  Founder  obtained  licenfe  (17)  of  K.  Hen.  VI,  dated 
18  July,  an.  reg.  35,  Dom.  1457  '  whereby  it  was  granted  to  him  to  found 
and  eftablifti  a  College  on  a  certain  plot  of  ground  (18)  without  Eaft  Gate,.

lool.  yearly  revenues.  Thefe  things  being  alfo  done,  the  Prefident  and 
Scholars  of  Magdalen  Hall  granted  and  confirmed  to  the  Founder  St.  John's 
Hofpital,  ftanding  on  the  foil  before  exprefled,  by  feveral  (19)  conveyances, 
dated  in  June  36  Hen.  VI,  Dom.  1458  -,  and  being  fo  done,  and  the  Founder 
having  it  in  his  hands,  did  the  12th  of  the  fame  month  in  the  fame  year  (20) 
create  and  eftablifti  the  faid  Hofpital  a  College  for  Students,  and  at  the  fame 
time  placed  and  appointed  therein  Mr.  William  Tybard,  Bach,  of  Divinity^ 
Prefident  of  it,  Mr.  Robert  Calthorpe,  Mr.  William  Langhton,  and  Mr. 
Henry  Fiftier,  Mafters  of  Arts,  Fellows  -,  Simon  Godmanfton,  Rich.  Bernes, 
and  Robert  Rous,  Bachelors  of  Arts,  Fellows  alfo,  with  leave  then  given 
them  to  eledt  and  admit  other  Fellows  to  make  up  a  full  number. 

Two  days  after  this  was  done,  the  Prefident  and  Scholars  of  Magdalen 
Hall  furrendered  (21)  up  their  Houfe  with  its  appurtenances  to  the  College, 
and  tranflated  themfelves  (perhaps  by  eledion)  and  theirs  to  them.  All 
which,  and  divers  ceremonies  of  law  belonging  thereunto  being  done,  and 
the  foundation  of  the  College  (22)  confirmed  by  the  Bull  of  Pope  Calixtus 

III,  (and  afterward  by  Sixtus  IV)  wherein  the  College  was  quitted  from  all 
jurifdidlion  of  the  See  of  Lincoln,  and  tranflated  to  that  of  Winchefter,  &c. 
and  enabled  alfo  to  prove  the  wills  of  thofe  of  their  own  body,  that  die  in 
the  College;  the  Founder  began  to  build,  while  his  Scholars  in  the  mean 
time  abode  in  part  of  the  Hofpital,  or  in  Magdalen  Hall,  and  employed  in 
that  work  one  William  Orcheyerd,  Mafter  of  the  Mafonry  of  the  faid  Bi- 
fhop,  with  whom  (after  he  had  for  the  moft  part  raifed  the  great  Quadrangle, 
Hall,  and  Chapel)  he  (23)  bargained  in  the  15th,  i8th,  and  19th  of  Edw. 

IV,  to  finilh  the  great  Tower  over  the  gate,  and  to  make  a  fpier  of  ftone,  in 
altitude  from  the  corbet  table  16  feet;  to  make  alfo  the  Pinacles  of  ftone 
upon  the  Hall  and  Church,  and  to  embattle  thofe  places,  and  the  Library,

MAGDALEN      COLLEGE.  311 

Fellows  and  Scholars  which  he  defigned  were  reduced  under  one  roof-,  whereas 
before  they  were  not,  but  lived  in  feveral  places.  As  for  the  Hofpitallers, 
there  was  provifion  made  for  them,  both  for  lodging  and  diet  within  the 
limits  of  the  College,  till  fuch  time  they  were  all  worn  out  and  dead.  And 
as  for  Magdalen  Hall,  which  after  the  foundation  of  the  College  returned  to 
its  old  name  (viz.  Boftar  Hall)  was  inhabited  by  Students  of  the  Univerfity 
for  divers  years  after,  (Mr.  John  Seymour,  and  Mr.  John  Collys  (24)  occur- 
ring Principals  of  it)  even  till  the  beginning  of  K,  Edw.  IV,  and  then  de- 
caying, as  feveral  places  of  literature  did  in  the  Univerfity,  was  let  by  the 
College  to  one  (25)  Thomas  Brown,  Taylor,  and  afterward  to  (26)  Roger 
Backfter,  Vintner,  who  made  it  a  common  tavern. 

In  the  year  1479,  which  was  fome  years  before  the  College  was  quite 
finilhed,  the  pious  Founder,  after  due  confideration  had  of  its  government,  did 
give  to  the  Prefident,  Scholars  and  the  reft,  Statutes,  whereby  they  and  their 
fucceflbrs  fliould  be  equally  governed.  In  them,  in  the  firft  place,  he  appoints 
the  faid  foundation  to  be  a  perpetual  Coll.  of  poor  And  indigent  clerical  Scho- 
lars, ftudying  in  the  Univerfity  of  Oxford  in  divers  Arts  and  Sciences,  to  be 
commonly  called  ^etnte  i^nrtc  i^augtialene  CoHctigr,  to  the  honour  and 
praife  of  the  bleffed  Virgin  (our  Saviour's  Mother)  St.  Mary  Magdalene,  Sc. 
John  Baptift,  the  Apoftles  Peter  and  Paul,  the  glorious  Confeflbr  St.  Swy- 
thune,  and  other  Patrons  of  the  Cathedral  of  Winchefter.  The  number  of 
Scholars  that  he  appointed  to  be  always  refident  in  the  faid  College,  were  40 
Fellows  (of  which  three  were  before  given  by  John  Ingledeu  and  John  For- 
man,  as  anon  (hall  appear)  thirty  poor  Scholars  called  Demyes,  four  Chap- 
lains that  were  Priefts,  eight  Clerks,  and  fixteen  Chorifters,  befides  feveral 
fervants  that  were  to  attend.  All  which,  befides  other  poor  Scholars  that 
were  daily  fed  with  the  broken  meat  from  the  tables  in  the  public  Refecftory 
(continuing  fo  till  1667,  at  which  time  they  were  ftinted)  as  alfo  the  enter- 
tainment of  ftrangers,  in  lieu  of  that  which  was  performed  while  it  was  an 
Hofpital,  receiving  daily  fuftenance,  with  other  fupplies,  in  fuch  meafure, 
that  I  think  it  exceedeth  any  foundation  for  fecular  Scholars  in  Europe. 

Furthermore  alfo,  as  the  Founder  ordered  that  there  Ihould  be  fome  di- 
ftin<5tion  among  the  Fellows  by  profeflions,  that  is  to  fay,  two  or  three  to 
ftudy  the  Canon  Law,  and  two  or  three  Medicine,  and  the  reft  Divinitv,  fo

As  for  the  Demyes,  they  were  not  to  be  retrained  to  any  County,  neither 
in  any  other  refpeA  but  their  age.  However  they  were  to  be  converfant  in 
the  ftudies  of  Grammar,  Logic  and  Sophiftry,  and  ikilled  in  plain  fong.  The 
Chaplains  and  Clerks  are  to  ferve  at  the  altar,  to  be  fufficiently  fkilled  in 
finging,  and  to  have  good  voices  for  reading  of  Service.  The  Chorifters  alfo 
to  be  perfed  in  plain  fong,  and  daily  help  the  Choir  with  their  finging. 


B     ENEFACTORS.  (26*) 

AS  for  the  aforefaid  three  Fellowfhips,  which  made  up  the  number  of  40, 
John  Ingledeu,  Clerk,  (27)  gave  two  of  them  an.  1461,  with  lands  for  their 
maintenance  in  Yorkftiire,  (of  which  county  he  was  a  native)  appointing 
them  and  their  fucceflbrs,  with  leave  from  the  Founder  (to  whom  he  was 
Chaplain)  that  they  fhould  be  born  within  tiie  dioceie  of  York  or  Durham, 
and  profefs  Divinity.  They  were  at  the  time  of  their  eledion  to  be  Gra- 
duats  in  Arts  at  leaft,  and  to  pray  for  the  foul  of  him  the  faid  Ingledeu,  and 
John  Bowyck,  A.  M.'  alio  for  their  parents,  and  for  the  fouls  of  Elianor 
Afke,  and  others. 

The  other  was  given,  (28)  about  the  fame  time,  by  John  Forman,  of  the 
Diocefe  of  York,  who  alfo,  with  leave  from  the  Founder,  ordained  that  he 
fhould  be  of  his  own  kindred,  fcil.  to  be  defcended  from  John  Forman,  his 
Father.  In  defed  of  which,  the  Prefident  and  Fellows  were  to  make  a  choice 
of  one  that  was  a  native  of,  or  neighbour  to,  Rothwell  and  Rufton  near 
Wakefield  in  Yorkfhire,  in  the  firft  of  which  this  benefador  was  born,  and 
of  the  other  vicar.  As  for  other  Benefadors  that  have  followed  after  tiie  fettle- 
ment  of  the  faid  number  of  Fellows  and  Scholars  are  thefe : 

William  Fitz-Alan,  Earl  of  Arundel,  (of  whofe  name  I  find  often  men- 
tion in  the  College  writings)  between  whom  and  the  College  an  (29)  in- 
denture was  made,  dated  10  Od,  i  Ric-  III  j  whereby  the  Prefident  and 
Fellows  did  grant  to  the  faid  Earl,  for  them  and  their  fucceflbrs,  that  imme- 
diately upon  the  real  pofleflion  of  the  Hofpital  of  St.  James  in  the  Lordfhip

BUILDINGS. 

AS  for  the  fabric  of  this  College,  it  was  no  othier  at  firfl:  than  the  Hof- 
pital  of  St.  John ;  which  being  too  little  for  the  number  of  Scholars,  the 
Founder  pulled  mod  of  it  down,  and  reduced  the  buildings,  which  were 
bffore  fcattered,  into  a  quadrangular  pile.  Of  the  laying  of  the  firft  ftone 
of  which,  you  (hall  have  from  a  certain  {6^)  book  of  accompts  begun  by 
Mr.  Richard  Berne,  an.  1473:  "  Memorandum,  quod  quinto  die  menfis

Whatfince  hath  been  added,  hath  been 

I.  Part  of  the  Prefident's  Lodgings,  which  make  up  the  north  fide  of  the 
firfl;  court  or  quadrangle,  at  the  weft  end  of  the  Chapel,  built  (if  I  miftake 
not)  in  the  beginning  of  the  Prefidentlhip  of  Dr.  Humphrey,  who  was  the 
firft  married  Governor  of  this  College.  (64) 

II.  The  Chaplains'  Qiiadrangle,  which  was  built  foon  after  the  Tower 
was  eredled,  but  not  quite  finilhed  till  about  the  firft  of  Hen.  VIII.  At 
which  time  alfo  the  old  building  on  the  other  fide- of  the  tower  (part  of 
which  makes  up  the  fouth  fide  of  the  firft  Court  or  QLiadranglej  was  • 
brought  into  the  fame  faihion  and  Ihape,  efpecially  as  to  the  frame  of  the 
windows,  as  the  former.

of  the  Hofpital,  but  fince  hath  been  much  enlarged  and  augmented.  (6-;*)

Founder's  time:  which  being  finifhed,  he  gave  (71*)  800  volumes,  and  above, 
for  the  moft  part  Manufcripts.  Divers  other  benefaftors  followed,  whofe

Chapel.  The  Society  at  firil  (while  they  abode  in  Magdalen  Hall) 
celebrated  fervice  in  the  parifh  church  of  St.  Peter,  but  after  their  tranflation 
to  the  Hofpital,  they  commonly  celebrated  in  an  Oratory  belonging  there- 
unto. Which  Oratory  was  in  a  fecond  ftory  in  that  row  of  building  on  the 
fouth  fide  of  the  College  Chapel  that  now  ftands,  and  was  in  being  till  1665  ; 
at  what  time  it  was  converted  into  two  chambers.  At  length  this  Chapel 
that  now  is  (on  the  fouth  fide  of  the  quadrangle)  being  finiflied,  in  the  reign 
of  Edward  IV,  the  Society  made  ufe  of  it,  as  they  do  at  this  day  -,  and  as  the 
Founder  left  it,  fo  did  it  remain  till  an.  1635  ;  at  what  time  great  care  being 
taken  to  adorn  Churches  and  Chapels  in  moft  places,  efpecially  in  the  Uni- 
verfity ;  this  then  was  altered  to  what  it  now  is ;  that  is  to  fay,  the  floor  of 
the  inner  Chapel  was  pulled  up,  and  paved  with  black  and  white  marble, 
the  old  wainfcot  and  ftalls  taken  away,  and  thefe  in  being  let  up  with  curious 
painting  thereon.  A  new  organ  alio  provided,  a  comely  fcreen,  painted 
windows,  and  what  not,  to  adorn  the  houfe  of  God,  Dr.  Frewen  being  then 
Prefident,  &c.  (72*)

[Page  329,  N.  72*  ;  orp.  350,  N.  88.  The  Altar-piece  in  the  Chapel,  re- 
prefenting  the  Refurredion  of  the  Founder,  &c.  was  painted  by  Ifaac  Ful- 
ler, about  the  middle  of  the  laft  Century  ;  and  is  celebrated  in  an  elegant 
Latin  Poem  by  Joseph  Addison,  Efq.  M.  A.  fometirne  Fellow  of  this^So- 
ciety,  and  afterward  Secretary  of  State  to  King  George  the  Firft.  The  Altar 
has  been  adorned  with  a  neat  wainfcot,  and  particularly  with  a  painting  fup- 
pofed  to  have  been  done  by  Guido  ;  the  fubjed  of  which  is  our  Saviour 
bearing  his  Crofs.  Having  been  taken  at  Vigo  in  1702,  and  brought  into 
England  by  James,  the  laft  Duke  of  Ormond,  it  afterward  came  into  the 
poffeflion  of  William  Freman,  Efq.  beforementioned,  who  prefented  it 
to  the  College.     A  new  Organ  alfo  was  ereded  at  his  expenfe. 

In  the  time  of  the  Great  Rebellion  the  original  painted  windows  in  the 
Choir  were  taken  down  and  concealed;  but  being  unluckily  difcovered  by 
Cromwell's  Troopers,  they  were  all  demolifhed  by  thofe  ignorant  fanatics. 
Thofe  now  in  the  Choir,  in  Clair  Obfcure,  containing  the  Figures  of  the 
Apoftles,  the  primitive  Fathers,  Saints  and  Martyrs,  were  removed  from  the 
Ante  Chapel  in  1741,  except  the  two  next  the  Altar,  which  have  fince  been 
added.  They  are  in  the  fame  ftyle,  and  probably  were  painted  about  the 
fame  time  as  that  in  the  great  weft  window.  This  laft  reprefents  the  Refur- 
re6lion,  and  is  generally  fuppofed  to  have  been  done  after  a  defign  of  one 
iinifhed  by  Schwartz,  above  200  years  ago,  for  the  Princefs  of  William 
Duke  of  Bavaria,  and  engraved  by  Sadelar.  But  it  being  now  very  much 
defaced,  Montagu  Cholmeley,  D.  D.  who  died  fenior  Fellow  in  1785,  be-

Being  trained  up  in  grammar  learning  in  his  own  country,  was  lent  to  Ox- 
ford, and  there  fettled  in  Oriel  or  Lincoln  College,  or  fuccellively  in  both. 
In  the  former  I  have  reafon  to  fuppofe  fo,  becaufe  feveral  of  his  name  and 
kindred  were  of  that  Society  foon  after,  if  not  in  his  own  time  ;  and  in  the 
other,  becaufe  that  among  their  Burfars'  or  Treafurers'  (3)  accompts  I  find 
one  Mr.  William  Smyth  to  have  been  a  Commoner  there,  before,  and  in  the 
year,  1478,  being  the  fame,  without  all  doubt,  with  this  perfon  that  we  now

nefactor to  both  the  faid  Colleges,  efpecially  the  laft)  fure  I  am  that  he,~with 
divers  other  Scholars  of  Oxford,  being  fearful  of  a  peftilence  raging  in  Ox- 
ford in  their  time,  receded  to  Cambridge;  where  he  became  Fellow,  and  af-

BRASENOSE     COLLEGE. 


Coventry,  an.  1492.  At  the  firft  of  which  places  he  (5)  founded  an  Hofpltal 
for  a  Mafter,  two  Priefts,  and  ten  poor  men,  as  alfo  a  Free-School  •,  upon  the 
lafl  of  which  K.  Hen.  VII  beftowed  an  Hofpital  called  Denhall,  in  Wyrehall 
in  Chelhire,  and  the  impropriation  of  the  Church  of  Burton. 

After  he  had  fat  three  years  in  the  See  of  Lichfield,  he  was  tranQated  to 
Lincoln,  and  became  a  great  man  in  the  King's  favour,  Counfellor  to  Prince 
Arthur,  and  Prefident  of  Wales,  ( 5*)  being  the  firft  of  all  that  bore  that  office. 
About  the  fame  time  he  was  chofen  Chancellor  of  this  Univerfity,  which 
place  he  keeping  two  years,  refigned,  and  finding  himfelf  waxing  impotent 
in  body,  confidered  how  he  might  further  bellow  his  wealth  for  the  public 
o-ood.  At  length  confulting  with  a  worthy  Gentleman,  Richard  Sutton,  then 
Efquire,  (afterward  a  Knight)  defcended  from  the  houfe  of  Sutton  in  the 
parifli  of  Prelbury  in  the  county  of  Chefter,  and  about  this  time  Steward  (if  I 
miftake  not)  to  the  houfe  of  Nuns  at  Sion  near  London,  and  one  of  the 
King's  Council,  refolved  to  join  their  monies  together  for  the  ere6lion  of 
fome  monument,  as  well  for  the  honour  of  their  Mother  the  Univerfity  of 
Oxford,  as  the  perpetual  memories  of  their  names. 

They  therefore,  to  make  preparations  for  fuch  a  monument,  obtained  of 
the  Mafter  and  Fellows  of  Univerfity  College,  a  (6)  leafe  of  two  ancient 
Hoftles  for  learning,  fituate  on  the  weft  fide  of  School-ftreer,  called  Brafenofe 
Hall,  and  little  Univerfity  Hall,  (7)  for  the  fpace  of  92  years,  paying  yearly 
for  them  3I,  and  at  the  end  of  the  laid  92  years  the  Mafter  and  Fellows  pro- 
miied  for  themfelves  and  fuccefifors  to  make  them  a  leafe  for  the  faid  term  of 
years  again.  This  was  done  20  Oft.  24  Hen.  VII,  Dom.  1508,  at  which 
time  the  faid  Richard  Sutton,  and  others,  to  whom  the  leafe  was  made,  did 
then  covenant  to  difcharge  the  faid  Mafter  and  Fellows  of  twelve  fhillings(8) 
yearly  rent  iflTuing  out  of  Brafenofe,  payable  to  the  Wardens  or  Proflors  of 
St.  Mary's  church  ;  and  that  alfo  there  fliould  be  expended  in  new  building 
and  reparations  in  the  faid  Hall  40I,  within  one  year  following  the  date  of  the 
faid  leafe.    ■ 

Thefe  things  being  done,  the  faid  perfons  obtained  a  (9)  dimiffion  of 
Oriel  College,  20  Feb.  i  Hen.  VIII,  Dom.  1509,  of  their  tenements  or  Halls, 
called  Salefury,  (10)  and  St.  Mary's  Entry,  with  their  gardens,  fituated  be- 
tween Brafenofe  on  the  north,  and  little  Edmund  Hall  on  the  fouth,  in  re- 
compence  of  13s.  4d.  which  the  Prior  and  Convent  of  St.  Fridefwyde  releafed

Thefe  tenements  being  procured,  and  building  and  reparations  done  on 
Brafenofe  Hall,  ilTued  out,  upon  the  defire  of  the  Founders,  the  King's  (12) 
licenfe  25  Jan.  3  Hen.  VIII,  Dom.  1 5 1 1.  Whereby  it  was  granted  to  them, 
their  Executors  and  Afligns,  to  ere6l  and  eftablifh  a  College  in  a  tenement  in 
the  Univerfity  of  Oxford,  called  Brafenofe,  for  one  Principal  and  fixty  Scho- 
lars, to  be  inftrufled  in  the  fciences  of  Sophiftry,  Logic  and  Philofophy,  and 
afterward  in  Divinity,  by  the  name  of  the  Principal  and  Scholars  of 
THE  King's  Hall  and  College  of  Brasenose  in  Oxford,  and  that  they 
might  fettle  thereon  lands,  tenements  and  revenues  to  the  yearly  value  of  300I, 
beyond  all  burdens  and  reprifes. 

The  next  year  after  the  faid  licenfe,  viz.  4  Hen.  VIII,  Biihop  Smith  made 
a  purchafe  (13)  of  the  fite  of  Coldnorton  Priory  in  the  County  of  Oxford, 
with  all  lands,  tenements,  and  other  revenues  belonging  thereunto  of  Thomas 
Hobbys  Dean,  and  the  Canons  of  St.  Stephen's  Chapel  at  Weftm,  as  they 
had  done  of  K.  Hen.  VII,  in  the  22d  year  of  his  reign.  Which  King  had 
it  by  efcheat  in  defe6l  of  a  Prior  and  Convent  to  inhabit  therein  j  the  firil, 
named  John  Wotton,  dying  the  nth  of  Hen.  VII,  and  the  Convent  fome 
time  before  fled,  or  executed  (14)  for  certain  robberies  and  other  felonies 
committed  on  the  highways  joining  to  the  limits  of  the  faid  Priory.  So  that 
the  Founder  being  poflTeflTed  of  it,  conveyed  it  to  the  Coll.  5  H.  VIII,  having 
before  had  thoughts  of  founding  the  faid  College  on  the  fite  of  that  Priory. 

As  for  the  lands  which  Richard  Sutton  gave,  equal  almoft  to  thole 
which  Biihop  Smith  beftpwed,  being  fituated  in  Oxfordiliire  and  othei: 
Counties,  I  fhall  pafs  them  by  for  brevity  fake,  and  proceed. 

After  the  College  was  finilhed  in  its  Buildings  (albeit  for  fometime  ftopt 
becaufe  of  the  Bp's  death  (i4t))  and  lands  fettled  thereon  by  the  Founder,  as 
alfo  dedicated  to  the  memory  of  St.  Hugh  and  St.  Chadd,  ConfeiTors,  Sir 
Richard  Sutton  figned  the  Statutes  i  Feb.  13  Flen.  VIII,  Dom.  1521; 
(Bifhop  Smith  and  he  having  before  given  them)  wherein,  as  it  appears,  arc 
appointed  a  Principal  and  twelve  Fellows  ftudying  in  Philofophy  and  Divi- 
nity. All  which  are  to  be  natives  of  the  Diocefe  of  Lichfield  and  Coventry, 
fo  that  thofe  that  are  born  in  the  Counties  of  Lancafter  and  Chefter  (both 
then  in  that  Diocefe)  and  chiefly  in  the  parifhes  of  Prefcote  and  Preftbury  in 
the  faid  counties  be,  if  fit  for  manners  and  knowledge,  firft  preferred.  And 
if  it  fliould  happen  that  none  of  the  faid  diocefe  be  eligible,  then  in  defect  of 
fuch  the  Society  is  to  choofe  out  of  the  diocefe  of  Line,  and  if  there  neither,

he  took  efpecial  care  in  letters  (2)  written  to  Mr.  John  Claym.ond,  the  firft 
Prefident,  to  have  him  fettled  among  the  original  Scholars,  as  he  did  alfo  for 
John  Fox,  another  Londoner,  then  Archdeacon  of  Surry. 

The  faid  Place  where  the  Founder  was  born,  being  well  known  to  the  an- 
cient Fellows  of  this  Houfe,  according  to  the  tradition  they  had  received  of  it, 
were  wont,  when  they  went  their  progrefs  to  keep  Courts  at  their  refpedive 
manors,  to  vifit  and  do  their  devotions  to  it,  as  the  very  place  where  their 
father  and  great  patron  had  received  his  firfl:  breath. 

To  the  faid  manor  houfe  did  anciently  belong  (3)  land  worth,  beyond  all 
reprifes  26I.  yearly  ;  which,  whether  it  belonged  as  an  inheritance  to  the  Foxes 
could  not  be  learned  by  them.  It  came  afterward  into  the  hands,  as  it 
feems,  of  Richard  Kelham,  father  of  Ralph  Kelham  living  in  the  reign  of 
K.  James.  From  him  it  came  into  the  hands  of  Richard  Hickfon,  who 
built  a  new  houfe  upon  it,  and  the  old  houfe  where  the  Founder  was  born, 
he  fold  to  one  Thomas  Rafkall  of  the  fame  town. 

In  the  latter  end  of  Q^  Elizabeth,  lived  in  part  of  the  faid  old  houfe  a  Wi- 
dow well  ftricken  in  years,  who  with  the  moft  ancient  of  the  town  were  wont 
to  tell  the  faid  Fellows,  *  that  their  Founder  was  born  at  that  place,'  and  one 
among  the  reft  told  them,  as  he  had  received  it  from  his  father,  that '  Richard 
Fox  went  away  very  meanly  from  his  parents  into  France  when  he  was  young, 
and  after  fome  time  fpent  there,  returned  to  his  parents  aguin  in  very  good

fort ;  and  when  they  would  have  had  him  (lay  with  them,  he  refufed,  faying 
he  muft  over  fea  again,  and  if  one  thing  hit  out  right,  all  Ropefley  fhould 
not  ferve  him  for  his  Kitchen,  &c.' 

His  parents,  perceiving  him  to  be  of  a  towardly  wit,  intended,  according  to 
their  abilities,  to  beftow  that  upon  him  which  fhould  prove  a  comfort  to 
them  in  their  old  age,  and  to  himfelf  in  the  future  a  livelihood.  Wherefore 
they  fenthim  to  be  trained  up  in  Grammar  at  Bofton,  till  fuch  time  that  he 
might  prove  capable  of  the  Univerficy.  Thence  they  (4)  fent  him  to  Mag- 
dalen College  in  Oxford,  where  for  the  time  he  continued  he  profited  fo 
much  in  literature  that  he  went  beyond  moft  of  his  cotemporaries. 

From  thence,  becaufe  of  a  plague  that  broke  out  in  Oxford,  he  went  to 
Cambridge,  where,  as  feveral  Authors  report,  he  became  Mafter  or  Head  of 
Pembroke  Hall  [1507]  •,  but  long  there  neither  did  he  abide,  for  obferving  that 
*  long  (^)  continuance  in  an  Univerfity  was  a  fign  either  of  lack  of  friends  or 
of  learning,  and  that  it  was  facrilege  for  a  man  to  tarry  longer  there  than  he 
had  a  defire  to  profit,'  took  a  relblution  to  travel  and  fee  the  fafhions  of  other 
nurferies  of  learning  :  and  this  the  rather  he  did  becaufe  at  that  time  K.  Rich. 
Ill,  did  ufurp  the  government,  and  that  the  ftate  thereupon  was  in  an  unfet- 
tled  condition.  To  Paris  therefore  (6)  he  journeys,  where  to  complete  that 
Divinity  which  he  had  already  obtained,  ftudied  the  Canon  Law,  without 
which  Divinity  was  efleemed  in  thofedays  imperfedl. 

From  thence  he  thought  to  have  travelled  to  other  parts ;  but  happily 
meeting  fomewhere  with  John  Moorton,  Bifhop  of  Ely,  Ibmetime  an  Ox- 
ford Man,  who  had  fled  the  kingdom  becaufe  of  the  faid  ufurpation,  his  in- 
tentions were  at  that  time  flopped  :  and  whether  his  learning  and  policy 
were  fo  much  perceived  by  this  Bifhop  as  to  make  ufe  of  him  as  an  inftru- 
ment  to  eftablifh  Henry  Earl  of  Richmond  in  the  throne  (to  whom  Bifhop 
Moorton  faithfully  adhered)  or  whether  the  Earl  himfelf,  who  was  then  at 
Paris,  had  acquaintance  with  him,  or  before  had  known  him  to  be  a  man  of 
wifdom,  I  am  in  doubt  :  Howbeit  an  author  (7)  that  lived  in  few  years  after, 
tells  us,  that  as  foon  as  the  Earl  had  knowledge  of  him,  received  him  as  a 
man  of  great  wit  and  no  lefs  learning,  into  fecret  familiarity,  and  in  brief 
time  erefted  and  advanced  him  to  high  dignities  and  promotions,  as  it  fhall 
anon  be  Ihewed. 

But  howfoever  the  matter  was,  I  Ihall  not  now  difpute  it ;  fure  I  am  that 
at  what  time  the  Earl  was  at  Vannec  in  Little  Bretagne,  contriving  to  furnifh 
himfelf  for  his  fetting  forth  to  obtain  the  crown  of  England,  determined  to 
crave  aid  of  the  French  King-,  andfo  coming  to  Paris  to  profecute  his  defign, 
left  the  (8)  whole  management  thereof  to  the  faid  Rich.  Fox,  then  Dodor 
of  the  Canon  Law  or  Decrees,  who,  according  to  the  truft  repofed  upon  him,

followed  the  matter  with  fo  great  diligence  that  in  fhort  time  all  things  were 
accomplidied  to  the  Earl's  pleafure.  So  that  foon  after  the  faid  Henry  obtain- 
ing the  crown  upon  the  victory  gotten  in  Bofworth  field,  was  not  unmindiul 
of  Dr.  Fox ;  for  he  not  only  made  him  one  of  his  Council,  and  Keeper  of  his 
privy  feal,  but  airo(9)  employed  him  with  Sir  Richard  Edgecombe,  Kt.  [1487] 
as  Ambaflador  for  truce  to  K.  James  III,  of  Scotland.  In  which  employ- 
ment fhewing  himfelf  to  be  a  perfon  of  great  prudence,  for  that  he  obtained 
a  truce  between  the  two  kingdoms  for  the  fpace  of  feven  years,  (9*)  made 
the  King  have  fo  great  refpedt  for  him  that  the  Bilhopric  of  Exeter  falling 
void,  before  his  return  from  Scotland,  as  I  conceive,  immediately  conferred 
it  upon  him  an.  1486-7. 

Being  now  fettled  in  that  See,  he  behaved  himfelf  in  all  refpefbs  befitting 
a  true  Prelate,  as  well  in  office  as  life  and  converfation.  The  effeds  of  whofe 
deeds  there,  being  partly  mentioned  by  another  (10)  pen,  I  fhall  now  pafs 
them  by  and  proceed.  In  the  year  149 1-2,  when  Robert  Stillington  Bilhop 
of  Bath  [and  Wells]  deceafed,  the  King  gave  that  Bifhopric  to  him,  and 
was  tranflated  thereunto  by  the  authority  of  the  Bull  (11)  of  P.  Innocent 
VIII,  dated  6  Id.  Febr.  the  fame  year.  In  all  which  time  none  was  in  more 
favour  with  the  King  than  he,  and  none  whofe  counfel  was  more  relied  upon 
than  his,  efpecially  in  thofe  matters  relating  to  the  privilege  and  intereft  that 
K.  Hen.  VII  challenged  in  the  kingdom  of  Scotland.  And  that  he  might 
advantage  himfelf  in  the  knowledge  of  them,  he  left  no  Hiftory  or  Chroni- 
cle of  this  nation  of  England  unconfulted^  and  particularly  one  of  John 
Rowfe  the  Warwick  Antiquary,  of  which,  and  the  lending  it  out  to  Dr.  Fox, 
he  maketh  mention  in  his  book  (12)  de  Regibus  Anglis,  with  an  excufe 
concerning  theomiflion  of  fome  particulars  therein — '•  hie  multa  alia  inferu- 
iffem  (faith  he)  fi  quendam  librum  meum  habuiifem  plenarie  hanc  materiam

But  to  return :  After  he  had  continued  in  the  See  of  Bath  and  Wells  for 
the  fpace  of  three  years  or  thereabouts,  he  v/as  preferred  by  the  fame  hand 
to  that  of  Durham  an.  1494:  and  as  he  ftill  afcended  from  a  poorer  to  a 
richer,  or  from  a  worfe  to  a  better,  Bifhopric  •,  fo  he  made  the  places  themfelves 
in  relation  to  their  edifices  •,  for  he  ( 13)  made  feveral  alterations  in  the  Hall  or 
public  Refectory  of  the  Caftle  of  Durham,  that  is  to  fay,  tliat  whereas  there 
were  but  two  feats  of  Regality,  one  in  the  upper  and  another  in  the  lower 
part  of  the  faid  Hall,  he  left  the  upper  only,  and  in  the  place  of  the  lower  he

or  refection.  He  built  there  alfo  an  accompt  or  checquer-chamber,  a  large 
Kitchen,  and  all  hoiifcs  of  office  over  it,  as  alfo  all  the  new  work  on  the  well 
fide  of  the  Hall  and  Kitchen.  Furthermore  he  began  to  build  a  Hall, 
Kitchen,  and  other  edifices  in  the  high  tower  of  the  faid  Caftle,  but  before 
they  were  perfected,  he  was  tranflated  to  Winchefter  by  reafon  of  the  con- 
troverfy  that  fprang  between  him  and  the  Earl  of  Cumberland  concern- 
ing the  right  of  Hertlepole — ''  The  faid  Caftelle  of  Durham  ftondith  (as  Le- 
land  ( 14)  faith)  llately  on  the  north  eft  fide  of  the  Minder,  and  Were  rennich 
under  it.  The  Kepe  ftondith  aloft,  and  is  ftately  buildid  of  viii  fquare  faf- 
cion  and  four  highes  (or  ftories)  of  logginges.  Bilshop  Fox  did  much  repara- 
tion of  this  dungeon  :  and  he  made  befide  in  the  Caftelle  a  new  kychen  with 
the  offices  and  many  praty  chaumbers,  &c." 

What  were  his  actions  while  he  fate  in  this  See,  either  in  relation  to  his 
government,  or  tranfaftions  between  the  Clergy  and  Gentry  of  his  Diocefc, 
1  know  not  •,  for  Durham  hath  been  fo  ungrateful  in  that  refpecl,  that  ffie 
hath  not  endeavoured  to  preferve  any  monument  or  writing  (except  that  be- 
fore mentioned)  in  h<:r  regifters  or  public  records  of  a6ls  done  by  this  worthy 
Prelate. 

While  he  was  Bifhopof  the  faid  place,  the  Scots,  it  elfcwhere  (15)  appears, 
had  like  to  have  broken  the  truce  and  revived  wars  between  the  two  nations 
again  ;  for  they  coming  to  Norham  Caftle,  the  Biffiop's  habitation,  intended, 
if  pofllble,  to  furprife  it ;  to  which  end  they  came  feveral  times  in  private  to 
view  it,  but  the  foldiers  therein,  fufpccling  fome  evil  meaning,  fallied  out 
and  made  them  fly.  The  Scoctifti  King  being  advertifed  of  this  matter, 
was  highly  difpleafed,  and  in  all  hafte  fignificd  to  the  Englifli  King,  how 
his  foldiers,  who  had  no  intentions  for  a  fi-irprifal,  were  treated,  and  therefore 
he  had  violated  the  truce.  The  King  to  excufe  the  matter,  relied  upon 
Bifliop  Fox,  owner  of  the  Caftle,  to  perform  what  feemed  good  in  fuch  a 
matter.  He  thereupon  by  letters  written  to  him,  interwoven  with  expreflions 
tending  to  a  reconcilement,  did  at  length  appeafe  hisdifplealure,  and  brought 
all  things  to  fuch  a  pafs,  that  the  Scottifh  K.ng  wrote  courteoufiy  to  the 
Biftiop  again,  fignifying,  that  befides  the  matter  then  in  hand,  he  had  certain 
fecrets  to  impart  unto  him,  and  denred  forthwith  that  he  would  come 
unto  him.  The  Biftiop  therefore  with  his  retinue  journeyed  into  Scotland, 
where  he  was  kindly  received  by  the  King  in  the  Abbey  of  Mailrofs,  and 
after  much  talk  concerning  the  truce  that  was  violated,  the  King  at  length 
told  him,  that  all  things  would  never  go  right,  until  a  firmer  bond  of  peace 
was  made  •,  and  for  the  accomplifliment  thereof,  he  thought  of  no  better  re- 
medy than  that  he  ftiould  match  himfelf  to  the  Lady  Margaret,  the  King  of 
England's  cldeft  daughter,  which  thing  he  would  the  fooner  do,  if  he  knew 
of  the  Biftiop's  mind  therein.  (16)     After  this  communication  was  ended,

the  Bifhop  returned  into  England,  and  going  forthwith  to  the  Court,  de- 
clared to  the  King  all  the  difcourfe  that  had  pafTed  between  them.  The 
Kino-  therefore  feeir.ing  to  like  well  of  it,  conceded  at  length  to  the  match. 
i\fterward  to  the  great  joy  of  both  nations  they  were  folemnly  married,  and 
from  their  ilTue  King  James  the  Vlth  of  Scotland,  and  the  firft  of  that  name 
in  England,  took  his  lineal  defcent,  and  by  virtue  thereof  obtained  the 
Eno-lifh  crown  after  the  death  of  Queen  Elizabeth  ;  confirming  thereby  both 
kingdoms  with  an  everlafting  peace. 

Having  had  an  happy  fuccefs  in  this  match,  he  was  advifed  in  the  making 
lip  that  between  Prince  Arthur  and  the  Lady  Catherine,  fourth  daughter  of 
Ferdinando  and  Ifabella,  King  and  Queen  of  Spain,  an.  1502,  Which  being 
concluded,  her  entry  into  London,  and  the  celebrity  of  the  marriage  was 
ordered  and  contrived  by  the  faid  vv'orrhy  Bifhop, '  who  was  not  only  a  grave 
Counfellor  for  war  or  peace,  (as  (17)  one  faith)  but  alfo  a  good  furveyor  of 
works,  and  a  good  mafter  of  ceremonies,  and  any  thing  elfe  that  was  fit  for 
the  adive  parr,  belonging  to  the  fervice  of  Court  or  State  of  a  great  King.' 
Further  alio  I  am  to  tell  you  (which  is  a  matter  of  obfervance)  that  the  laft 
acl  of  State,  that  concluded  the  temporal  felicity  of  our  King  Henry  VII,  was 
the  glorious  match  between  his  daughter  Mary  and  Charles,  Prince  of  Caftile, 
afterwards  the  great  Emperor.  Which  treaty  was  perfected  by  this  worthy 
BiAiop  Fox,  and  other  Commiffioners,  at  Calais,  the  year  before  the  death  of 
our  King.  And  this  with  other  things  I  thought  fit  to  let  you  know,  be- 
caufe  thence  you  might  underftand  Vv'hat  great  trufl  the  King  repofed  on  the 
faid  Bifliop,  what  love  he  had  for  him,  and  how  ready  the  Bifhop  always  was 
to  ferve  his  lord  and  Mafler  to  the  utmoft. 

It  v/asnowthe  1 6th  year  of  the  reign  of  K.  Hen.  VII  (1500) :  at  which  time 
Thomas  Langton,  Bilhop  of  Winchefler  deceafed,  in  whofe  room  the  King 
immediately  put  Richard  Fox-,  where  being  fettled,  fpent  the  remainder  of 
his  time  in  great  profperity  and  plenty,  beftowing  much  money  in  buildings, 
reparations,  and  charitable  ufes:  witnefs,  befides  his  College  at  Oxford,  (of 
which  more  anon)  his  new  Chapel  in  the  Cathedral  of  Winchefler,  (wherein 
he  v/as  afterward  buried)  appointing  (18)  that  daily  mafs  fliould  be  celebrated 
for  his  foul.  Then  his  ereftion  of  a  Free- School  at  Taunton  Caftlc,  and 
convenient  Lodgings  near  it  for  the  School  mafler  to  dwell  in.  The  like  he 
performed  at  Grantham  in  Lincolnfliiie,  albeit  his  intentions  were  fometimes 
to  have  (19)  builded  the  fame  at  Ropefley,  in  a  little  Grove  joining  to  the 
houfe  v/here  he  was  born;  but  that  place  being  but  a  village,  and  therefore 
unfiequcnted,  altered  his  mind  and  built  it  at  Grantham  aforefaid,  which 
was  then,  as  now,  a  place  of  commerce  and  trading. 

As  for  his  charity  in  exhibiting'to  feveral  poor  Scholars,  was  (while  he  was 
Bp  of  this  See)  very  (20)  much.  Among  them  were  thole  under  the  tuition

both  favoured  by  the  faid  Bifhop.  Then  to  Anthony  Wilkins  of  New,'  and 
feveral  of  Magdalen,  College,  befides  others  in  the  Univerfity ;  committing 
the  charge  of  them  to  Mr.  J.  Claymond  of  Magdalen  College;  who,  for  the 
great  love  and  amity  which  the  Bifhop  had  for  him,  faluted  him  in  his  letters 
direfled  to  him,  '  Brother'  and  dear '  Brother'.  He  alfo  extended  his  charity  in 
a  large  manner  to  the  Abbat  and  Monks  of  Glaftenbury  ;  for  when  John  the 
Abbat  in  a  letter  to  him  complained  much  of  the  miferable  and  poor  eftate 
that  he  and  his  Convent  were  in,  (as  indeed  they  were)  voluntarily  (21)  lent, 
or  rather  as  it  fhould  fcem  gave,  them  an  lool.  which  was-jjiid  to  them  by 
Mr.  Claymond.  Furthermore  alfo  it  muft  not  be  forgotten,  that  in  the  3d 
Hen.  VII,  when  Richard  Fox  fate  Bifhop  of  Exeter,  he  gave  very  largely 
towards  the  re  edification  of  St.  Mary's  Church  in  Oxford°then  ready  with 
age  to  fall  to  the  ground  :  for  the  Chancellor  and  Scholars,  then  undertaking 
that  matter,  fent  divers  epiftles  for  that  purpofe  to  ail  thofe  Biiliops  and  orea? 
men  that  were  their  *  old  friends'  (as  they  then  (22)  ftiled  them)  and  fuch^that 
had  been  Students  of  this  Univerfity  ;  among  which  I  find  an  (23)  epiftle 
to  the  faid  reverend  Prelate  for  his  benefadtion,  who,  if  he  had  been  a  ftrancrer 
to  them,  and  not  bred  up  in  this  Univerfity,  would  never  have  had  the  con- 
fidence to  be  petitioners  to  him  for  a  boon. 

What  farther  is  worthy  of  obfervation  is,  that  after  he  had  fate  fome  years 
in  the  See  of  Winchefter,  and  before,  feveral  books  were  dedicated  to  him  as 
a  worthy  patron  of  learning ;  among  which  is  that  (24)  entit.  De  cafu  ani- 
mal, written  by  Aubrey  Mantuan,  a  Student  of  the  Univerfity  of  Paris, 
whofe  epiftle  dedic.  being  dated  at  Paris,  on  the  kalends  of  Jan.  1509,  hath 
feveral  matters  therein  in  commendation  of  this  venerable  Prelate-,  all  which 
for  brevity  fake  1  now  pafs  by.  One  Rich.  Collingwood  alfo,  who  writ  an 
Arithmetical  treatife,  did  dedicate  it  to  him  ;  the  original  whereof  beino-  in 
MS.  was  given  to  this  Library,  on  Mr.  Twyne's  defire,  bv  Mr.  Tho.  ATlen

In  one  only  mifchance  he  was  unfortunate,  and  that  was,  that  he  lived  divers 
years  blind  before  he  died,  (24*)  fo  that  finding  thereby  his  end  to  approach, 
confidered  how  he  might  bellow  his  riches,  as  well  for  the  public  good  as 
continuance  of  his  memory.  At  length,  after  all  things  had  been  well  confi- 
dered  and  caft  up,  he  proceeded  to  perform  his  bounty  at  Oxford ;  to  the 
end  that  fome  place  there  might  be  erected,  wherein  for  the  future  might  be 
educated  perfons  in  Academical  learning-,  and  having  before  had  a  promife  of

In  fhort  time  after,  being  in  confiderable  forwardnefs,  an  indenture  (26) 
dated  the  laft  of  June,  5  Hen.  VIII,  Dom.  1513,  drawn  between  Richard 
Fox,  Bifhop  of  Winchefter,  on  the  one  part,  and  Thomas  Silkftede,  Prior, 
and  the  Convent  of  the  Cathedral  Church  of  St.  Swythune  in  Winchefter  on 
the  other  i  whereby  it  was  covenanted,  that  in  confideration  of  certain  gifts 
of  the  faid  Bilhop,  made  to  the  faid  Prior  and  Convent,  viz.  feveral  parcels

to  build  on  the  faid  parcels  a  College  for  a  Warden,  and  a  certain  number  of 
Monks  and  fccular  Scholars ;  that  alfo  he  intended  to  give  and  appropriate

and  Convent  for  the  ufe  of  the  faid  College  -,  of  which  2 81.  yearly  revenues 
were  then  purchafed  by  virtue  of  the  King's  licenfe  contained  in  his  letters

the  Prior  and  Monks  of  Winchefter  revenues  to  the  yearly  value  of  lool, 
beyond  all  reprifes,  conditionally  that  they  maintain  the  number  of  Monks 
before  expreffed.  But  before  his  College  was  a  quarter  finifhed,  his  mind 
was  altered;  and  upon  conference  had  with  Hugh  Oldham,  Bifhop  of  Exe- 
ter, concerning  his  propofals  of  being  a  Benef^dor,  conditionally,  that  he 
would  make  the  faid  College  a  place  for  fecular  Students,  (as  other  Colleges 
in  Oxford  were)  caufed  the  faid  licenfe  of  fettling  lool.  per  an.  on  the  faid 
Priory  of  St.  Swythune  to  be  brought  into  the  Chancery  and  cancelled.  Af- 
terward he  proceeded  in  his  buildings  which  he  had  began;  the  which,  had 
the  foundation  intended  at  firft  been  equal  to  his  fecond  thoughts,  it  had 
been  larger,  but  being  begun,  it  could  not  well  be  altered,  which  in  all  pro- 
bability was  the  reafon  why  he  enlarged  it  afterward  by  building  the  Cloi- 
fter  Chambers. 

This  being  done  therefore,  partly  upon  the  propofals  of  Oldham,  but 
chiefly  by  his  perfuafions  (who  often  anfwered  the  (28)  Founder,  when  they 
difcourfed  of  making  this  work  a  College  for  Monks,  "  What,  my  lord, 
fliall  we  build  houfes  and  provide  livelihoods  for  a  company  of  buffing 
Monks,  whole  end  and  fall  we  ourfelves  may  live  to  fee  }  No,  no,  it  is  more 
meet  a  great  deal,  that  we  fhould  have  care  to  provide  for  the  increafe  of 
learning,  and  for  fuch  as  who  by  their  learning  fhall  do  good  in  the  Church 
and  Commonwealth")  the  defign  was  utterly  rejedled,  though  he  was  much 
foUicited  to  the  contrary.  And  being  now  fully  convinced,  he  proceeded  to 
obtain  the  fite  of  his  College,  which  he  before  had  bargained  for,  and  had 
paid  fome  of  the  money  for  its  purchafe.  Phe  firft  part  which  he,  as  ic 
feems,  procured,  was  a  Tenement,  (29)  with  a  Garden,  called  Corner  Hall, 
and  another,  with  a  Garden,  called  Nevyll's  Inn,  Alfo  about  the  fame  time 
a  Garden  which  belonged  to  the  Bachelor-Fellows  of  Merton  College,  called 
Bachelors'  Garden,  which  before  was  included  within  the  limits  of  the  faid 
College,  containing  now  the  moft  part  of  the  Gardens  or  walks  belonging  to 
the  Mafters  and  Bachelors  of  this  College,  granted  10  Febr.  7  Hen.  VIII, 
Dom.  1515  :  for  which  ground  Merton  College  was  always  to  receive  4I.  6s. 
8d.  per  an.  from  Witney  Church  in  Oxfordihire  ;  of  which  church  the  Foun- 
der, as  Bifhop  of  Winchefter,  was  Patron, 

After  this  was  done,  the  Biftiop  obtained  (30)  licenfe  of  King  Hen.  Vllf,, 
dated  26  Nov.  an.  Reg.  8,  Dom.  1516  :  whereby  it  was  granted  to  him  that 
he  might  found  a  perpetual  College  for  the  learning  of  the  Sciences  of  Di-^ 
vinity,  Philofophy  and  good  Arts,  for  one  Prefident  and  thirty  Scholars,  gra-

and  the  Town-wall  on  the  fouth  ;  and  withal  that  he  might  endow  the  faid 
College  with  350I.  yearly. 

The  fame  year,  Jan.  15,  he  purchafed  (31)  another  tenement  of  the  Nun- 
nery of  Godftow,  called  Nun-Hall,  for  which  the  College  was  to  pay  to  the 
faid  Nunnery  4  (hillings  per  an.  as  a  quit-rent,  and  the  12th  of  Feb.  follow- 
ing he  made  a  purchale  of  (32)  Urban  Hall  and  Bekes  Inn  of  the  Priory  of 
St.  Fridefwydc,  for  which  alfo  the  Founder  covenanted  and  granted  that  26 
fhillingsand  8d.  per  an.  fliould  be  paid  to  the  faid  Priory  out  Ol  the  Redlory 
of  Wroughton  in  Wiltlhire.  • 

So  that  now  all  the  fite  being  clearly  obtained,  iffued  forth  the  foundation

of  Exeter,  Bath  and  Wells,  Durham  and  Wincheiler  (of  which  places  he 
was  fuccefllvely  Bifhop)  found  and  appoint  this  College  (always  to  be  called 
Corpus  Christi  College)  for  one  Prefidcnt  and  thirty  Schojars,  or  more 
or  lefs,  according  to  the  ordinations  and  ftatutes  to  be  made  and  compofed. 
In  the  faid  Charter  the  Founder  appoints  Mr.  John  Claymond,  Bachelor  of 
Divinity,  (one  that  had  been  intimately  acquainted  vvith  him  for  thirty  years) 
the  Prefident :  Thom.  Fox,  his  kinfman,  Scholar  of  Arts,  of  the  Diocefe  of

Sir, 

This  is  a  Tranfcript  of  our  Statutes 
concerning  the  number,  counties  and  dio- 
cefes  of  Ftllows  and  Scholars,  wJiich  I  thought 
fit  to  fend  you,  becaufe  what  you  have  writ 

about

CORPUS     CHRISTI     COLLEGE. 


As  for  the  Scholars,  they  were  according  to  the  faid  Diocefes  and  Coun- 
ties in  like  manner  to  be  diftinguilhed  ;  only  that  whereas  there  were  to  be 
two  Fellows  of  Kent  he  appointed  but  one  Scholar  of  that  place,  and  two  of 
the  county  of  Lancafter  ;  but  thefe  fince  were  fomewhat  altered  before  the 
Founder's  death. 

He  inftituted  (39)  alfo  three  Ledbures  to  be  performed  by  three  of  the  faid 
Fellows  every  week  in  the  College  Hall,  according  as  the  Statutes  require. 
To  which  Leflures  the  Students  of  the  Univerfity,  as  alfo  ftrangers,  were 
wont  to  repair.  One  was  for  Humanity,  which  Lud.  Vivcs  before  men- 
tioned read,  the  fecond  for  Greek,  and  the  third  for  Divinity,  As  for  the 
two  laft,  by  whom  at  firft  they  were  performed  I  find  not,  unlefs  by  John 
Clement,  or  Edw.  Wotton,  or  Rob.  Morwent  the  firft  Vice-prefident.  How- 
foever  it  was,  fure  I  am,  that  they  were  much  frequented  by.  the  Academians, 
as  were  the  Leflujres  about  the  fame  time  of  Cardinal  Wolfey,  as  I  have 
elfewhere  told  you. 

In  fuch  an  admirable  condition  was  this  College  finifhed,  endowed  with 
plentiful  revenues,  fettled  with  good  government,  and  replenifhed  with  able 
men,  that  the  fame  thereof  extended  far  and  near.  Erafmus  in  anEpiftle  (40) 
of  his,  as  I  remember,  written  to  John  Claymond,  the  firft  Prefident,  fpeaks 
very  honourably  of  it  thus — "Egregiam  iliam  prudentiam  fuam,  qua  femper 
publicae  famae  prsconio  commendatus  fuit  Ricardus  Epifcopus  Winton. 
nullo  certiore  argumento  nobis  declaravit,  quam  quod  Collegium  magnifi- 
cum  fuis  impendiis  extrudum,  tribus  praecipuis  Unguis,  ac  melioribus  Uteris, 
vetuftifque  authoribus  proprie  confecravit.  Ingenti  Coloflb  Rhodus  eft  Ce- 
lebris: Caria  Maufoli  fepulchro:  &c.  Mihi  praefagit  animus  futurum  olim,  ut 
iftud  Collegium,  ceu  templum  facrofandlum,  optimis  Uteris  dicatum,  toco 
terrarum  orbe  inter  prsecipua  decora  Britannias  numeretur :  plurefque  futuros,

non  habeat, — pertrahat  Oxoniam,  quam  olim  tot  miraculis  vifenda  Roma  ad 
fefe  pellexit." — ^Thus  Erafmus. 

Juell  alfo  has  been  very  large  in  commendation  of  the  faid  College,  which 
in  a  commemoration  (41)  Sermon  of  the  Founder  (his  fubjedt  being  '  In 
memoria  asterna  erit  juftus')  he  ftiles  "  Nutricem  Literatorum  et  ornamen- 
tum  Oxonias  et  prasftans  membrum  Academic  &c."   and  in  his  farewell 

about  it  in  your  Antiquitys  has  given  occa-  Yours  to  command,

dem  cultiffimam  literarum  &c."  It  is  alfo  feveral  times  written  '  Colle- 
gium (43)  Apum,' efteemed  by  many  to  be  no  otherwife  than  a  place  of 
induftrious  Perfons,  (as  indeed  every  College  or  Hall  fhould  be)  but  no 
more,  as  it  feems,  than  that  from  its  firft  foundation  there  hath  been  a  ftall 
of  Bees  over  a  certain  Chamber  in  the  Cloifter  between  the  cieling  and  leads 
over  it,  which,  as  fome  fay,  belonged  to  Lud.  Vives.  Hov/beit  from  thofe 
lights  of  learning  it  hath  produced,  and  many  eminent  perfons,  as  well  in  the 
Church  as  the  Commonwealth,  may  be  taken  in  the  firft  fenfe.  (44) 

BENE      FACTORS. 

Among  many  that  have  been  Benefadors  to  this  place,  as  well  at  Its  firft 
erection  as  fince,  have  been  the  following  : 

Hugh  Oldham,  or  Owldham,  firft  Chaplain  to  Margaret  Countefs  of 
Richmond,  then  Canon  of  Lincoln,  and  Preb.  of  Leighton  Buzard,  and  at 
length  through  other  preferments  Bifiiop  of  Exeter,  gave  towards  the  ftruc- 
ture  of  the  College  fix  thoufand  marks,  befides  land  for  the  founding  and 
endowment  thereof,  as  by  feveral  fcripts  it  appears.  He  it  feems  had  a  mind 
to  enlarge  Exeter  College,  but  being  repulfed  upon  adefirc  for  a  Scholar's 
place  for  one  Atkins,  (Simon  Atkins,  a  Devonfhire  man,  I  fuppofe)  intended 
to  have  joined  with  Bifhop  Smith,  then  founding  Brafenofe  College,  but 
changing  his  mind  alio  for  that  intent,  joined  at  length  with  Biftiop  Fox. 

The  faid  Hugh  Oldham  built  an  houfe  to  be  employed  for  a  School  join- 
ing to  the  College  in  Manchefter  on  the  weft  part,  in  which  town  I  conceive 
he  was  born.  He  appointed  there  a  Mafter  and  an  Ufher,  who  were  to  teach 
children  Grammar  after  the  ufe,  manner  and  form  of  the  School  at  Banbury, 
in  com.  Oxon.  where  Thorn.  Stanbridge  taught  the  Grammar  called  Stan-

To  thefe  may  be  added  one  Robert 
PURSGLOVE,  born  at  Tidefwall,  a  market 
town  in  Derbylhire,  bred  in  juvenile  learning 
for  a  time  there.  At  length  by  the  care  of 
his  uncle  William  Bradfhaw,  he  was  fent  to 
Paul'^  School,  where  in  three  years  profiting 
much  in  letters,  was  placed  in  the  Avery

being  fitted  for  the  Univerfity  was  fent  to 


this  College,  and  maintained  there  by  his 
faid  uncle  for  fourteen  years  fpace.  After- 
ward, being  looked  upon  as  an  eminent 
Clerk,  went  to  the  Monaftery  of  Gifburn, 
where  being  made  a  Canon  regular  became 
foon  after  Prior  thereof.  At  length,  upon  a 
willing  furrender  of  his  Houfe  into  the  King's

and  preferment,  he  became  Archdeacon  of 
Nottingham,  Provoft  of  Rotheram  College, 
Bifhop  of  Hull,  and  Suffragan  to  the  Arch-

heaping  up  a  great  ftock  of  wealth,  founded 
two  Grammar  Schools  (of  which  one  was  at 
Tidefwall)  and  a  fair  Hofpital.  He  died  on 
the  fecond  day  of  May,  an.  1579,  and  was 
buried  in  the  Church  of  Tidefwall,  over 
whofe  grave  is  a  large  monument  with  an  in-

THOMAS  WOLSEY,  Cardinal  of  St.  Cecilia,  and  Archbifhop  of  York, 
growing  to  the  height  of  his  honour  and  dignity,  which  was  beyond 
any  fubjed  in  the  Chriftian  world,  confidered  how  he  might  eternize  his 
name  to  pofterity  by  bellowing  his  wealth  for  the  eredion  and  eftablifhment 
of  fome  permenant  monuments,  that  might  be  beneficial  to  the  Church  and 
Commonwealth.  At  length  fettling  his  refolutions  on  Ipfwich  and  Oxford  -, 
the  places  which  gave  him  breath  and  education  •,  divers  projeds  were  by 
him  entertained  for  the  enrichment  of  the  ftruiflures  there  to  be  fettled  ;  and 
among  the  reft  was  one  pitched  upon,  which  though  with  little  pains  was 
compafled,  yet  it  opened  a  gap  for  greater  ruin,  as  it  fball  anon  be  fliewed. 
The  projedt  being  by  him  and  fome  of  his  Counfeilors  applauded,  he  pro- 
cured two  Bulls,  fealed  with  lead,  of  Pope  Clement  VII  •,  one  dated  the  third 
of  the  nones  of  April,  an.  1524,  and  the  other  (i)  the  fifth  of  the  Ides  of

chiefly  in  all  probability  the  fame  with  the  other)  leave  was  given  to  him  to

nal about  various  matters,  thus  tells  him  of  the  fuppreflion  of  the  faid 
Monafteries : 

"  As  touching  the  help  of  religious  houfes  to  the  building  of  your  College, 
I  would  it  were  more,  fo  it  be  lawfully-,  for  my  intent  is  none,  but  that  it 
fhould  fo  appear  to  all  the  world,  and  the  occafion  of  all  their  mumbling 
might  be  fecluded  and  put  away-,  for  furely  there  is  great  murmuring  at  it 
throughout  all  the  realm,  both  good  and  bad.  They  fay  not,  that  all  that  is 
ill  gotten  is  bellowed  on  the  College,  but  that  the  College  is  the  cloke  for 
covering  all  mifchiefs.  This  grieveth  me  I  aflure  you,  to  hear  it  fpoken  of 
him  which  I  fo  entirely  love.     Wherefore  methought  I  could  do  no  lefs  then 

thus  friendly  to  admonifh  you." And  in  another  concerning  the  ele6tion 

of  the  Priorefs  of  Wilton  to  be  Abbefs  of  that  place,  thus : — "  And  be- 
caufe  that  I  dare  be  bolder  with  you  than  a  great  many  that  mumble  it  abroad, 
and  to  the  intent  that  the  foundation  by  you  meant  and  begun  fhould  take 
felice  and  profperous  fuccefs,  I  think  it  very  fit  you  fhould  knowthefe  things. 
Surely  it  is  reckoned,  that  much  of  the  good  that  buildeth  the  fame  fnould  not 
be  the  beft  acquifite  and  gotten,  reckoning  it  to  come  from  many  a  religious 
houfe  unlawfully,  bearing  the  cloak  of  kindnefs  towards  the  edifying  of  your 
College :  which  kindnefs  cannot  fink  in  many  a  man's  heart,  to  be  in  them, 
fince  that  thofe  fame  religious  houfes  would  not  grant  to  their  Sovereign,  in  his 
necefTity,  not  by  a  great  deal  fo  much  as  they  have  to  you  for  the  building  of 
your  College.  Thefe  things  bear  fhrewd  appearance  -,  for  except  they  have 
accuflomed  to  have  fome  benefit  for  it,  they  nor  no  other  that  ever  I-  heard 
of,  have  ufed  to  fhew  it  kindnefs  ;  tarn  enim  eft  aliena  ab  eis  ipfa  humanitas. 
But  of  this  cafe  your  confcience  can  be  beft  judge,  femora  affedione,  &c.*' 

Afterward  in  the  year  1528,  I  find  (24)  thefe  following  Monafteries  to  be

with  others  which  1  (hall  now  omit.  (34) 

So  that  he  having  got  the  faid  Monafteries  into  his  hands,  not  only  brought 
upon  him  by  the  men  of  his  time,  and  their  pofterity,  the  name  of  Sacrilegift:, 
by  depriving  many  poor  creatures  of  that  fmall  pittance  they  had  left,  and  giv- 
ing or  allowing  them  little  or  nothing  to  fuilain  their  poverty,  fave  only 
fome  of  the  chiefeft  (efpecially  thofe  of  St.  Fridefwyde's  Priory)  whom  he 
tranflated  to  other  Monafteries,  but  alfo  in  fo  doing  gave  occafion  for  the  de- 
molition of  the  reft  within  this  kingdom.  For  if  he,  who  fhould  be  a  patron 
and  cheriftier  of  Religion  and  Religionifts,  fhould  utterly  alien  the  manfions 
or  nurferies  thereof  from  the  intentions  of  their  refpeftive  Founders,  it  can- 
not otherwife  but  be  fuppofed  that  K.  Hen.  VIII,  v/ho  had  then,  or  at  leafl: 
foon  after,  a  defign  to  abrogate  the  Pope's  power,  ftiould  willingly  lay  hold 
on  this  example  to  put  his  defign  in  execution. 

But  concerning  the  diflblving  of  the  faid  Monafteries  you  fhall  hear  whar 
an  author  (35)  at  that  time  living  faith — 

"  Wherefore  fodainly  he  (the  Cardinal)  entered  by  his  Commiflioners  into 
the  faied  Houfes,  and  put  out  the  Keligious,  and  tooke  all  their  goodes, 
moveables,  and  fcarcely  gave  to  the  poore  wretches  any  thing,  except  it  wer 
to  the  Heddes  of  the  Houfe,  and  then  he  caufed  thercheter  to  fit,  and  to  finde 
the  Houfes  voyde,  as  relynquiftied,  and  founde  the  King  Founder,  where  other 
men  wer  Founders,  and  with  thefe  landes  he  endewed  with  all  his  Colieo-es, 
whiche  he  began  fb  fumpteous,  and  the  Scholers  were  fo  proude,  that  every 
perfone  judged,  that  thende  would  not  be  good,  &c."  As  for  that  of  (36) 
"  Beggam  in  SufTex,  the  which  was  verie  commodious  to  the  countrey,  it 
fo  befell  the  caufe,  that  a  riotus  compaignie,  difguyfed  and  unknowen,  with 
painted  faces  and  vifures,  came  to  the  fame  Monafterie,  and  brought  with 
them  the  Chanons,  and  put  them  in  their  place  again,  and  promifed  theim, 
that  whenfoever  thei  rang  the  bell,  that  thei  would  come  with  a  great  power 
and  defende  them.  This  doyng  came  to  the  eare  of  the  Kinges  counfail, 
whiche  caufed  the  Chanons  to  be  taken,  and  thei  confelTed  the  capitaines, 
whiche  wer  imprifoned  and  fore  punifhed." 

No  iboner  the  firft  Bull  was  procured,  and  the  Priory  of  St.  Fridefwyde 
furrendered  into  the  Cardinal's  hands,  but  he,  upon  confidence  had  of  the

ments, whereon  the  faid  College  might  be  ereded.  Alfo  13th  July  follow- 
ing (namely  1 7  H.  VIII,  Dom.  1525)  he  got  (37)  licenfe  of  the  King  to  found 
and  make  it  perpetual.  In  which  licenfe  the  King,  giving  him  all  his  titles,  too 
many  now  to  be  mentioned,  and  highly  extolling  his  wifdom  and  merits,  and 
acknowledging  withal  that  he  the  faid  Cardinal  had  for  divers  years  under- 
gone the  burthen  of  the  government  of  this  nation,  and  fuch  like,  gave  him 
leave  to  fettle  this  his  Foundation  on  the  fite  of  St.  Fridefwyde's  Priory,  fup- 
prefTed  before  for  that  purpofe,  and  that  he  may  ftile  it  Collegium  Tho-

for  one  Dean,  and  feveral  fecular  Canons,  and  other  Scholars  in  Divinity, 
Canon  and  Civil  Law,  liberal  Arts,  Medicine  and  Humanity,  or  in  other 
Studies.  For  whofe  fuftenance  it  was  lawful  for  him  to  obtain  and  confer 
on  the  faid  College,  lands  and  revenues  to  the  yearly  value  of  two  thoufand 
pounds  beyond  all  burdens  and  reprifes :  This  being  done,  to  confecrate  and 
dedicate  it  to  the  praife,  glory  and  honour  of  the  Holy" Trinity,  the  moft  holy 
Virgin  Mary,  the  bleffed  Virgin  St.  Fridefwyde,  and  All  Saints. 

As  for  the  College  at  Ipfwich,  leave  (38)  was  alfo  given  to  him,  20  Hen. 
VIII,  to  found  it  on  the  fite  of  St.  Peter's  Priory  in  the  parilh  of  St.  Mathew 
within  the  faid  Borough,  for  one  Dean,  twelve  Priefts,  eight  Clerks  and  eight 
Chorifters  j  as  alfo  a  Grammar  School  for  poor  children,  which  were  to  be 
tranflated  to  his  College  at  Oxford,  of  which  I  am  now  further  to  fpeak. 

The  Priory  of  St.  Fridefwyde,  having  fuftained  (o  many  changes  of  new 
Matters  and  inhabitants,  after  it  had  continued  from  its  firft  eredlion  to  its 
fupprefiion,  (which  was  about  eight  hundred  and  thirty  years)  and  that  alio 
for  the  moft  part  in  great  profperity,  was  in  the  year  1524  furrendered,  at  the 
inftance  of  the  Cardinal,  by  the  then  Prior  thereof,  John  Burton,  together 
with  the  Convent,  into  the  hands  of  the  King ;  who  immediately  upon  the 
receipt  thereof,  gave  it  to  the  Cardinal  for  the  erection  of  this  his  College, 
which  made  fo  great  noife  at  this  time  throughout  the  learned  world. 

To  make  room  therefore  for  the  foundation  thereof,  he  pulled  down  the 
weft  part  of  the  Priory  Church,  (the  other  part  yet  remains)  containing  al- 
moft  the  length  of  half  the  body  thereof,  the  whole  weft  fide  of  the  Cloifter, 
and  alfo  thofe  lodging  rooms  over  and  near  it. 

Thefe  things  being  done,  he  plucked  down  a  certain  Hoftle  for  the  ftudy 
of  the  Civil  Law,  called  London  College,  abutting  on  Civil  School  lane  on 
the  north  fide,  St.  Fridefwyde's  lane  on  the  fouth,  and  upon  the  lands  of  this

CHRIST     CHURCH     COLLEGE.       421 

(18  Apr.  17  Hen.  VIII)  granted  (39)  to  the  Dean  and  Canons  by  the  Maf- 
ter  and  Scholars  of  Balliol  Coll.  by  the  name  of  a  Tofc  with  a  Curtillage. 

Then  did  the  Cardinal  cagfe  to  be  levelled  thofe  tenements  which  be- 
longed to  the  Priory  of  St.  Fridefwyde,  to  the  end  that  more  room  might 
be  made  for  this  ftrudure.  So  that  all  things  now  being  prepared  to  his 
hand,  the  day  for  laying  the  firft  ftone  was  appointed;  (15  July  an.  1525) 
which  day  being  come,  all  orders  and  degrees  of  the  Univerfity  aflembled, 
and  were  conducted  to  this  place;  where  alfo  being  prefent  hundreds  of 
people,  the  fir  ft  ftone  was  folemnly  laid,  (40)  with  the  offering  thereon  divers 
iums  of  money,  according  to  the  manner.  Which  being  done,  and  a  fpeech 
alfo  then  delivered,  the  company  retired  to  the  Church  of  St.  Fridefwyde  -, 
where  they  heard  a  Latin  Sermon,  (40*)  preached  on  this  occafion  by  Dr. 
John  Longland,  Biftiop  of  Lincoln,  beginning  thus — "  Sapientia  sdificavit 
fibi  domum  &c."  Which  Sermon,  with  two  others  made  on  feveral  occafions, 
the  faid  Biftiop  dedicated  to  William  Warham,  Archbiftiop  of  Canterbury, 
as  appears  by  a  letter  (41)  from  the  latter.  After  fermon  was  done,  a  fump- 
tuous  feaft  followed  to  the  great  content  of  thofe  prefent.  The  next  day 
the  artificers  proceeded  in  their  work,  and  the  Kitchen  being  the  firft  of  all 
the  buildings  that  was  finift\ed,  the  learned  Ralph  Gualter  (fometime  a  ftu- 
dentof  this  Univerfity,  as  by  himfelf  (42)  is  attefted)  faid  of  the  Cardinal, 
comparing  his  proje6t  with  his  performance,  *'  Egregium  opus !  Cardinalis 
ifte  inftituit  Collegium  et  abfolvit  Popinam" — Which  words  though  they 
were  fpoken  by  way  of  refledion  on  what  the  Cardinal  did,  yet  not  fo  biting, 
as  a  diftich  ftuck  upon  the  walls  thereof  about  that  time,  running  thus : 
*  Hscdomus  ex  multis  nuper  conflata  rapinis, 
Aut  cadet,  aut  certe  Daemon  habebit  earn.' 

Or  thus,  as  I  have  it  from  an  obfcure  place  i 

'  Non  ftabit  ilia  domus,  aliis  fundata  rapinis, 
Aut  ruet,  aut  alter  raptor  habebit  eam.' 
Made  by  an  Oxford  Scholar,  and  according  to  his  prediction  fell,  not  to  the 
ground^  but  into  the  King*s  hands,  as  anon  ftiall  be  told  you. 

After  the  Kitchen  was  finiftied,  with  certain  buildings  adjoining,  the  ruins 
of  the  Town  wall  were  pulled  down  to  make  room  for  the  Hall,  and  lodg- 
ings on  the  fame  fide :  Then  the  parifti  Church  of  St.  Michael  at  fouth

feveral  tenements  alfo  for  the  weft  part  of  the  Qiiadrangle  (one  of  which  be- 
longed to  the  Nunnery  of  Stodeley).  From  which,  and  four  more  on  the 
fam°  fide,  the  Prodors  of  Sr.  Aldace's  Church  were  wont  to  (43)  receive 
yearly  2s.  ird.  About  the  fame  time  alfo  (17  Hen.  VIII)  the  Mafters  and 
Scholars  of  Balliol  College,  granted  (4^)  to  the  Dean  and  Canons  eight  tofts 
and  curtila<^es  of  land  in  Fifh-ftreet,  upon  which  were  fometime  ftanding  a 
public  Inn  called  the  Dolphin,  and  fevcn  cottages,  lying,  and  being  between 
Fifti-ftreeton  the  weft  part,  and  the  land  of  Cardinal  College  on  the  fouth, 
north  and  eaft  parts. 

Which,  with  feveral  other  tenements,  being  procured,  and  certain  lodgings 
by  that  time  finiftied,  he  fettled  in  them  a  Dean  and  certain  Canons,  which 
he  before  had  felcdled,  and  to  which  he  had  allowed  annual  penfions,  inha- 
biting in  the  mean  while  either  in  St.  Fridefwyde's  Priory,  or  in  certain 
Colleges.  And  though  he  intended  this  foundation  of  186  perfons  (or  ra- 
ther 200)  as  anon  ftiall  be  ftiewed,  to  be  augmented  or  diminished  according 
as  the  revenues  of  the  College  rife  or  fall,  yet  at  firft  he  fettled  but  a  Dean 
and  eighteen  Canons,  whofe  names  follow.

junior  clafs,  from  the  number,  I  fuppofe,  of  thofe  Cantabrigians,  men- 
tioned in  the  annals  under  the  year  1525.  For  of  fet  purpofes  he  made  cer- 
tain  paufes  and  delays,  that  he  might  make  choice  of  the  fharpeft  (as  'tis  re- 
ported) and  quickeft  witsj  among  which  William  Tyndale  was  one,  who 
before  had  been  of  Magdalen  Flail.  (50*)  Another  alfo  was  John  Taverner  of 
Bofton,  who  became  Organift  of  the  College,  but  afterward  turning  Protef- 
tant,  with  fome  of  the  junior  Canons,  repented  (51)  very  much  that  he  had 
compofed  leflbns  to  popifh  ditties,  while  he  was  a  Catholic. 

The  Cardinal  alfo  placed  at  feveral  times  as  many  that  made  up  a  very 
confiderable  number  (a  note  which  I  have  feen  faith  only  30)  before  he  died. 
For  all  the  time  of  his  life  he  kept  perpetually  in  himfelf  power  to  manage 
the  lands  of  his  College,  not  making  any  fettled  corporation,  or  dating  them 
with  any  dotation  in  the  time  of  his  profperity  (notwithftanding  divers  liber- 
ties were  granted  thereunto  by  the  King)  but  intending  towards  his  death 
to  difpofe  firmly  and  ilrongly  in  law  all  things  to  their  ufc. 

For  the  better  government  of  thefe  his  Scholars  he  gave  them  (52)  Sta-

fettle  in  the  faid  College,  which,  as  alfo  thofe  then  prefent,  he  would  have  in 
time  to  come,  to  be  governed  by  the  faid  Statutes,  &c.  From  thefe  things 
therefore  we  may  take  notice  of  his  worthy  and  moft  noble  intentions : 
which,  if  not  blalled  and  cut  off,  he  without  doubt  had  made  this  College 
both  for  riches,  buildings  and  government  the  moft  famous  in  the  whole 
world,  and  have  annexed  thereunto  a  Library  repleniftied  with  Tranfcripts 
from  that  of  the  Pope  called  the  Vatican.  But  the  faid  imperfed:  founda-

of  tiflfue,  cloth  of  filver,  and  rich  cloth  of  bodkin  of  divers  colours,  and  the 
other  fide  with  the  richeft  fuit  of  copes  that  were  ever  feen  in  England,  in- 
tended for  his  Church  at  this  place. 

It  will  not  now  be  impertinent,  I  fuppofe,  to  take  a  view  of  this  imperfedl 
building,  and  to  fee  what  order  the  Cardinal  took  for  the  finifhing  of  it,  and 
what  monies  he  beftowed  for  its  ereftion.  Firil  therefore,  for  the  better  or- 
dering of  it,  and  regulating  the  workmen,  he  appointed  Robert  Wilfon  and 
Rowland  MefTynger,  Mailers  of  Arts,  (the  laft  lately  Fellow  of  Brafenofe)  to 
be  Comptrollers  of  thefe  his  buildings,  they  being  about  the  fame  time  dif- 
penfed  (54)  with  from  Scholaftical  Ads  for  that  purpofe-,  Mr.  Nicholas 
Townley,  Clerk,  to  be  Mafter  of  the  faid  Works,  who  in  the  year  1531  was 
admitted  Preb.  of  York  ;  Mr.  John  Smyth  to  be  Auditor,  Sir  Davy  Griffith, 
Priell,  to  be  Overfeer  for  fometime  -,  Thomas  Cowper  and  Philip  Lenthall 
to  be  Clerks  of  the  faid  Works ;  which  two  laft,  for  their  diligence,  as  well 
in  calling  as  trying  all  the  books  of  accounts,  from  the  firft  beginning  to 
the  fall  of  the  Cardinal,  were  very  confiderably  requited  for  their  pains. 

Thefe  officers,  for  the  carrying  on  of  the  work,  made  ufe  of  divers  quar- 
ries about  Oxford,  namely,  Frydayes  quarry,  Cotefwold,  Harrington,  Burford, 
Stow  on  the  Wold,  Sherborne,  Brokynton,  Lepers  quarry  at  Taynton,  Lam- 
bert's quarry,  and  Hedington  near  Oxon ;  for  the  u!e  of  the  laft  of  which,  and 
others,  the  Society  of  Magdalen  College,  by  their  (s5)  Epiftle,  diredled  to 
the  Cardinal  for  the  compofing  certain  differences  in  that  houfe,  granted  him 
free  leave. 

Befides  thefe  quarries,  were  four  lime-kilns  continually  in  ufe  for  the. pre- 
paration of  lime  to  build  withal,  viz.  one  at  Kyrtlington,  another  at  Stanton 
St.  John,  a  third  at  Bekeley,  and  a  fourth  at  Hedington,  Hundreds  of 
workmen  were  continually  employed,  as  Plummers,  Mafons,  Plaifterers, 
Carvers,  Carpenters,  Smiths,  Glafiers,  Painters  for  the  windows,  who  fet  up 
47  of  the  Cardinal's  arms  in  the  windows  of  the  common  Hall,  &.c.  All 
which,  befides  innumerable  labourers,  both  in  the  College  and  abroad,  were 
conftantly  paid  at  every  fifteen  days  end,  as  by  certain  books  of  accounts  it 
appears. 

Now  if  any  one  would  underftand  what  this  great  and  coftly  building  did 
coft,  which  was  four  years  in  building  at  leaft,  he  might  in  fome  fort  be 
fatisfied,  if  he  will  or  can  judge  of  the  expenles  for  the  three  firft  years  by 
the  laft ;  which  if  he  can,  (no  other  way  being  left,  becaufe  the  books  of 
accounts  for  the  faid  three  years  are  wanting)  then  let  him  know,  that  the 
accounts  for  the  laft  year,  wanting  three  weeks,  that  is  to  fay,  from  the  firft

ftately  Church,  which  he  intended  to  have  built  on  the  north  fide  of  the  Qua- 
drangle, was  but  few  feet  ercdled  from  the  ground,  neither  one  ftone  of  the 
embattled  wall,  to  have  encompaffed  the  College,  laid,  neither  the  Alms 
houfe,  and  neceflary  or  out-houfes  finilhed  or  began,  we  cannot  to  the  con- 
trary but  imagine,  that  the  like  ftru6lure,  either  for  religion  or  learning,  was 
fcarce  before  began  in  England.  (56) 

Thus  far  may  be  faid  of  this  work,  which  fo  much  founded  in  the  ears  of 
all  people  in  remote  parts,  efpecially  at  Rome,  and  alfo  of  the  noble  inten- 
tions of  the  thrice  worthy  Cardinal,  whofe  heroic  fpirit  was  fuch  for  the  pub- 
lic good,  advancement  of  learning,  and  honour  of  this  Univerfity,  (the  Scho- 
lars of  which  continually  (57)  fpake  and  wrote  in  his  praife  and  commen- 
dation) that  never  was  the  like  before  known,  nor  pofiibly  hereafter  will. 
The  Univerfity,  in  an  Epiftle  (58)  to  the  Cardinal,  ftile  this  College  '  tarn 
infigne,  tarn  utile,  et  fuper  excellens,  ut  tandem  Chrifti  gratia  ablolutum, 
cum  reliqua  Oxonia  merito  conferatur' — Much  more  may  be  fpoken  from 
thofe  encomiums  of  him  and  his  works  at  Oxon,  and  much  of  his  Roman 
and  heroic  fpirit,  which  ever  and  anon  occurs  in  the  Univerfity  Book  of 
Epifiles,  but  being  too  m.any  and  large,  I  (hall  leave  with  you  his  character 
(different  for  the  moft  part  from  that  which  the  Academians  attributed  to 
him)  delivered  by  an  {§g)  author  that  lived  foon  after  this  time — *'  A  man 
(faith  he)  undoubtedly  born  to  honour,  rather  fome  Prince's  Baftard  than 
a  Butcher's  fon,  exceeding  wife,  fair-fpoken,  high  minded,  full  of  revenge, 
vitious  of  his  body,  lofty  to  his  enemies  were  they  never  fo  bigge,  to  thofe 
that  accepted  and  fought  his  fricndfhip  wonderful  courteous,  a  ripe  fchool- 
man,  thrall  to  affedions,  brought  a  bed  with  flattery,  infatiable  to  get,  and 
more  princelike  in  bellowing,  as  appeareth  by  his  two  Colleges  at  Ipfwich 
and  Oxford,  &c." 

Having  now  faid  what  I  can  concerning  fo  much  of  this  foundation  that  the 
Cardinal  made,  I  mud  proceed  to  fpeak  of  it  when  it  came  into  the  King's 
hands,  which  was  when  the  indidmenc  was  found  againfl:  the  faid  Cardinal 
28  0(5l.  1529  ;  and  then  whatfoever  belonged  to  him  either  in  fpirituals  or 
temporals  was  lapfed,  and  among  the  reft  this  his  College  and  its  appurte- 
nances, becaufe,  as  I  have  before  laid,  it  was  not  fettled  by  law. 

Divers  letters  of  the  Cardinal,  written  after  his  fall,  to  Tho.  Cromwell, 
principal  Secretary,  I  have  feen  •,  and  in  one  (60)  I  find,  that  he  doth  very 
dolefully  and  with  much  heavinefs  exprefs  himfelf  for  the  fuppreffing  and 
difmemberingof  his  Colleges — In  another  alfo,  he  heartily  and  earneftly  fol-

was  at  that  time  prefented  by  the  Dean  and  Canons  thereof;  but  what  an- 
fwer  they  received  I  find  not  as  yet.  In  another  from  Cromwell  to  the  Car- 
dinal thus — "  As  touching  your  Colleges,  the  King  is  determined  to  diffolve 
them,  and  that  new  offices  fhall  be  found  of  all  the  lands  belonging  to  them, 
newly  to  entitle  his  Highnefs,  which  be  already  done  for  this  purpofe.  But 
whether  his  Highnefs,  after  the  diffolution  of  them,  means  to  receive 
them  againe,  and  found  them  in  his  own  name,  I  know  not.  Where- 
fore, I  entreat  your  Grace  to  be  content,  and  let  your  Princ^  execute  his 
pleafure.'*(6i)

nierfecfhire  by  the  prefentation  of  Thomas 
Grey,  Marq.  of  Dorfet;  which  Reftory  he 
conferred  upon  him  for  the  great  care  he  had

which  happened  on  Apr.  22,  that  year,  he 
quickly  got  into  the  favour  of  his  fuccelfor

Scholar,  took  the  degrees  in  Arts,  and  was 
chofen  Greek  Reader,  and  in  1540  the  firft 
Greek  Profeflbr  in  that  Univerfity.  He  was 
alfo  at  the  fame  time  Univerfity  Orator. 
About  the  year  1543,  being  Canon  of  this 
.College,  he  was  incorporated  M  A.  oi  this 
Univerfity,  where  I  prefume  he  had  before 
fpent  fome  time  for  the  fake  of  fludy.  In 
1544  he  became  Tutor  for  the  Latin  Tongue 
to  Prince  Edward  ;  by  whom,  when  he  came 
to  the  crown,  he  was  appointed  Provoft  of 
King's  College,  Cambridge,  1548,  and  in 
1550  chief  Gentleman  of  the  King's  Privy 
Chamber;  and,  having  received  the  honour 
t>f  Knighthood,  was  made  Chamberlain  of 
the  Exchequer  for  life,  1552;  and  in  1553 
Clerk  of  the  Council,  and  foon  after  one  of 
the  Secretaries  of  State,  and  a  Privy  Coun- 
fellor,  and  had  confiderable  grants  of  land. 
After  the  faid  King's  death,  the  Lady  Mary 
being  fettled  in  the  throne,  he  was  commit- 
ted to  cuftody  July  27,  1553,  ftripped  of  the 
greateft  part  of  his  honours,  and  of  all  his 
fortune? ;  yet  he  was  afterwards  fet  at  liberty 
and  went  into  Germany,  either  a  forced  or 
voluntary  exile.  From  thence  he  pa/Ted  into 
Italy.  At  his  return  to  Germany,  he  was 
kindly  entertained  at  Strafburgh,  where  he 
was  chofen  public  ProfefTor  of  the  Greek 
tongue  in  that  place,  which  was  a  treafure 
mat  maintained  him  in  his  exile.  For  about 
two  years  he  lived  there  in  good  repute  j  till 
at  length  going  into  Low  Germany  to  fetch 
his  wite,  who  had  lately  come  thither  from 
England,  he  was,  in  his  return  from  Bruffels 
to  Antwerp,  15  May,  1556,  waylaid  by  the 
Provoft  Marlhal  to  K.  Philip,  and  was  with

der hatches,  conveyed  to  the  landing  place 
near  the  Tower  of  London,  and  there  com- 
mitted toclofe  prifon.  Sir  John  was  put  to  this 
miferable  choice,  either  to  forego  his  life,  or, 
what  is  ttiore  precious,  his  liberty  of  con- 
fcience.  At  length  he  made  a  public  abre- 
nuntation  of  that  religion  which  he  had  long 
profefled,  and  ftill  believed.  Afterward  he 
was  reftored  to  his  liberty,  but  never  to  his 
content.  He  died  in  London  in  the  month 
of  Sept.  1557,  and  was  buried  in  the  church

which  dignity,  I  know  not  yet  to  the  con- 
trary, but  that  he  was  deprived  in  the  begin-

that  one  Tho.  Cole  is  faid  to  be  Dean  of  Sa-

from  the  School  of  Weftminfter,  of  her  father's  foundation,  which  fo  con- 
tinues to  this  day.  (88) 


(88)    [Our  Author  is  certainly  wrong  in 
his  account  of  the  laft  Foundation  of  this 
Houfe.     It    is   probable   however   that    the 
Foundation,  as  defcribed  by  him,  was  a  plan 
intended,  but  not  put  into  execution.     The 
number   of    Students  was    originally    lOo. 
There  is  now  in  the  pofTeffion  of  the  College 
a  MS.  work  (mentioned  by  our  Author  in  his 
AvHEUJE  OxoN.  Vol.  I,  571)  by  Leonard 
Hutten,  Canon  of  this  Ch.  1599,  and  many 
years  Subdean  of  this  Houfe.    It  c6ntains  an 
account  of  the  feveral  Deans  and  Canons,  as 
far  as  his  own  time,  very  accurately  and  ele- 
gantly drawn   up,  with   an   account  of  the 
Foundation    of  the  College  prefixed.     The 
number  of  Students  on   King   Henry's   laft 
foundation  he  makes  loo.     This    is   farther 
confirmed  by  the  Chapter  books,  in  which 
there  are  complete  lifts  of  the  Students  a  few 
years  after  the  foundation — the  number  be- 
ing in  the  year  1549,  90;  in  the  year  1550, 
99;  in  the  year  155 1, '9Z;  in  the  year  1552, 
94.    Their  ages  being  mentioned,  it  is  plain 
that  the  lower  clafles  were  not  School-boys; 
there  being  none  under  15 — moll  of  them  are 
from  16  to  20. 

In  the  firft  Chapter  books,  be/ides  the  Stu- 
dents, as  above  ilated,  tlie  other  Members 
and  Servants  of  the  College  are

The  number  of  fervants,  however,  admit- 
ting of  fome  variations  in  the  different  years. 
,  The  fame  thing  appears  by  a  book  in  the 
Dean's  pofleflion,  containing  lifts  of  all  the 
members  admitted  into  the  College  from  the 
year  of  the  foundation  ;  continued  to  the 
prt'feat  time,  with  very  little  interruption; 
but  with  more  or  lefs  accuracy  in  different 


times.  By  this  book  the  number  of  Stu- 
dents admitted  on  Jan.  24,  1546-7  was  89 
— in  the  courfe  of  the  firft  year,  105. 

Queen  Elizabeth  therefore  could  have  done 
nothing  more  than  ordain,  that  there  Ihould 
be  an  annual  eiedion  from  Weftminfter  School 
to  fill  up  fome  of  the  vacancies.  ' 

The  fubftance  of  Leonard  Hutten's  account 
is  as  follows :  That  about  the  year  1522  the 
Monaftery  or   Priory   of  St.  Fridefwid  was 
furrendered  into  the  hands  of  Henry  VIII,  at 
the  inftance  of  Cardinal  Wolfey  ;  who  on  the 
fame  lite,  enlarging  the  precinfts,  ereded  his 
College,  called  Cardina/  College,  on  July  15, 
1525 — that  it  was  meant  to  be  a  perpetual 
foundation  for  the  ftudy  of  the  Sciences,  Di- 
vinity,  Canon  and   Civil  Law,  alfo  of  the 
Arts,  Phylic,  and  polite  learning,  and  for  the 
continual  performance  of  divine  fervice — the 
College  to  confift  of  a  Dean  and  60  fecular 
Canons;  (no  mention  here  of  the  40  Canons 
of  the  fecond  order,  or  other  perfons  beneath 
them)  or  more  or  fewer,  according  to  the  exi- 
gencies and  eftate  of  the  College — that  he 
named  himfelf  18    Secular  Canons,  with   a 
Dean  (the  fame  with  thofe  mentioned  by  our 
Author) — that  he  afterwards  added  others, 
purpofely  leaving  intervals    of  nomination, 
.  that  he  might  find  out  and  appoint  the  ableft 
perfons.    Amongft  thefe  are  I4''illiam  Tyndale, 
abovementioned,   Tranflator  of  the  Bible — 
John  Frith,  B.  A.  affiftant  to  Tyndal  in  that 
work.     He  was  of  King's  Coll.  Cambridge, 
and  incorporated   here;  but   for   publickly 
avowing  Luther's  opinion,  was   imprifoned 
within  the  limits  of  this  (the  Cardinal)  Col- 
lege.    Obtaining  his  liberty,  he  went  over  to 
Germany,   in    1528  ;    where  he   continued 
about  two  years,  and  then  returned  to  Eng- 
land :  But  endeavouring  to  gain  profelytes  in 
London,  he  was  fent  prifoner  to  the  Tower, 
condemned  to  the  flames,  and  burnt  in  Smith- 
field,  July  4,  1533.  (Ath.  Oxon.  V.  I,  33.) 
Richard  Cox,  afterward  Dean   of  this  Coll. 
is  alfo    mentioned — with  others,    fome    of 
whom  were  invited  from  Cambridge.     It  is 
fa  id  that  Thomas  Cranmer  (afterward  Arch- 
bifhop  of  Canterbury)   was  alfo  invited,  and 
being  already  on  his  way  to  take  poffeffion. 
Was  perfuaded  by  fome  friends  to  return.

BENEFACTORS. 


Robert  Chaloner,  D.  of  Div.  fometime  of  this  Houfe,  afterward  Ca- 
non of  Windfor,  gave  20I.  per  an.  for  the  maincenance  of  a  Divinity  Ledure 
in  this  Church,  or  for  three  poor  Scholars  for  their  Exhibition,  to  be  chofen 
out  of  Amerlham,  alias  Agmondefliam,  in  Bucks,  Goldfborough  or  Knaref- 
borough  in  Yorkfhire  &c.  By  will  20  June  1620,  to  be  fettled  after  his  death 
and  the  death  of  his  wife.  He  died  at  Amerfham  in  Bucks,  (of  which  place 
he  was  Re<5tor)  and  was  buried  there  on  the  ift  of  May  162 1.  From  his  lands 
and  tenements,  that  were  not  long  before  his  death  purchafed,  he  gave  by 
his  will  40I.  per  an.  for  ftipends  for  the  Mailers  of  the  Schools  at  Amerfham 
and  Knarefborough,  and  fo  much  for  other  pious  ufes,  that  made  up  84I. 
los.  per  an.  (89) 


The  Cardinal  meant  to  proceed  to  the  fil- 
ling up  the  whole  number  intended,  referv- 
ing  to  himfelf  the  nomination  during  life, 
and  having  left  it  to  the  Dean  and  Canons  at 
his  death,  the  College  continued  from  1525 
to  1530,  and  then  fell  with  the  Cardinal; 
but  on  July  18,  1532,  was  reftored  under  the 
title  of  Khi^  Henry  the  eighth's  College  in  Ox- 
ford— one  Dean  and  12  Canons  being  ap- 
pointed, who  fhould  make  a  Chapter  or  body 
corporate  (  thefe  are  the  fame  with  thofe 
mentioned  by  our  Author.)  This  foundation 
continued  from  July  18,  1532  to  Sept.  6, 
1545  ;  when  the  Charter  was  furrendered  by 
John  Oliver,  Dean,  and  the  Canons  into  the 
King's  hands  ;  who  thought  proper  to  change 
the  College  into  a  Cathedral  Church,  tranf. 
lating  the  epifcopal  See  hither  from  Ofney. 

The  new  foundation  therefore  came  forth 
under  the  name  of  The  Cathedral  Church  of 
Chrijl  in  Oxford,  of  King  Henry  the  eighths 
foundation,  receiving  its  name  and  endowment 
from  Henry  VIII — from  the  Monallery  or 
Priory  of  St.  Fridefwid,  the  Colleges  of  the 
Cardinal  and  Henry  VIII,  Canterbury  Col- 
lege, and  Vine  Hall  or  Peckwater's  Inn,  its

BUILDINGS. 

The  fabric  of  this  Houfe,  was,  as  I  have  told  you  before,  left  imperfedl  by 
Card.  Wolsey.  The  eaft,  fouth,  and  moil  part  of  the  weft,  fide  of  the  great 
Quadrangle,  called  Wolsey's  Quadrangle,  was  by  him  fcarce  finifhed.  As 
for  the  north  fide,  which  he  did  allot  for  a  fpacious  Church,  nothing  of  it 
was  fupplied  with  building,  except  with  the  foundation  of  the  faid  Churchy 
which  in  fome  places,  efpecially  at  the  weft  end,  was  three  yards  and  above 
from  the  ground.  Round  the  laid  Quadrangle,  within  fide,  the  Cardinal  did 
intend  to  ered  a  Cloifter,  but  he  falling,  the  building  of  it,  with  the  reft  of 
the  Quadrangle,  remained  as  he  left  it,  till  about  the  year  1638,  and  then  the 
north  fide  being  fupplied  with  buildings,  to  the  end,  that  out  of  them  they 
might  make  Lodgings  for  two  Canons,  were  in  a  manner  as  to  their  outfide 
finilhed,  and  the  timber  laid  for  a  roof,  and  as  'twas  then  faid,  did  intend  to 
add  the  Cloifter.  But  wars  falling  out  the  faid  building  remained  ftill  im- 
perfe6l,  and  when  a  new  Dean  and  Canons  were  put  in,  an.  1648,  they  were 
ih  far  from  finiftiing  them,  that  they  took  away  all  the  timber  that  was  laid 
for  roof  and  floors,  and  converted  it  for  their  private  ufe.  At  length,  after 
the  reftoration  of  K.  Charles  II,  when  fome  of  the  old  Canons  were  returned, 
and  new  ones  put  in,  then  did  the  building  go  forward,  and  the  outfide  was 
finiftied  in  Jul.  1662,  and  all  completely  done  by  1665.  Towards  which 
many  benefadlors  gave,  as  this  imperfedl  lift  will  inform  you.

built  very  fair  lodgings,  of  poliihed  free-ftone,  about  1638,  in  or  very  near 
that  place,  whereon  the  faid  long  range  was  afterwards  eredled,  they  were  by

462       CHRIST     CHURCH     COLLEGE. 

Church.  As  for  the  Church,  that 'is'now  ftatrding  ^beyond  the  great 
Quadrangle  on  the  eall  fide,  is  the  faitie'that  beionge'd  to  the  Priory  of  St. 
Fridefwyde,  and  the  fame  wherein  that  Saint  and  her  Parents  lay  buried. 
After  it  came  into  the  hands  of  Cardinal  Wolfey,  the  weft  end  thereof,  con- 
taining almoft  half  the  body  of  the  Church,  was  by  him  pulled  down,  as  *tis 
before  mentioned,  intending  that  the  remaining  part  fhould  ferve  only  for 
private  prayers,  and  certain  theological  exercifes.  He  caufed  alfo  to  be  made 
over  the  Choir  a  fair  carved  roof  of  ftone,  and' over  the  Church  another  of 
wood  ;  alfo  the  old  fteeple  to  be  pulled  down,  and  rebuilt  lower,  the  Bell 
frame  to  be  mended,  and  feveral  places  to  be  repaired  within  the  Church,  as 
it  appears  from  part  of  the  accounts  for  the  building  of  Cardinal  College. 
As  for  the  folemnizing  of  greater  fervice,  and  the  delivery  of  fermons  (pub- 
licly to  the  Univerfity,  as  it  hath  been  commonly  reported)  the  Cardinal  in- 
tended to  have  them  done  in  the  large  Church  on  the  north  fide  of  the  Qua- 
drangle ;  the  foundation  of  which  he  had  laid,  as  is  before  told  you. 

But  as  for  the  infide  of  this  Church,  it  continued  in  the  fame  condition 
that  the  Cardinal  left  it  till  an.  1630,  or  thereabouts,  and  then  the  Dean  and 
Canons  being  minded  to  adorn  it,  did  firft  take  down  all  the  old  Stalls  in  the 
Choir,  and  in  their  places  put  up  thofe  that  now  are  ;  to  make  room  for 
which,  they  removed  (befide  flat  marble  monuments)  feveral  that  were 
ere(5led  between  the  pillars  parting  the  Choir  and  fide-ailes:  Secondly,  plucked 
up  the  old  floor  of  the  Choir,  and  paved  it  with  black  and  white  marble  of 
a  diamond  fquare  :  Thirdly,  plucked  up  all  the  floor  alfo  of  the  Church,  and 
paved  it  with  hard  white  ftone  of  the  fame  fquare  j  and  laftly,  new  floored 
the  fide  ailes.  In  the  doing  of  all  which,  the  workmen  took  up  many  mo- 
numental ftones  of  marble,  having  moll  of  them  Saxon  infcriptions  engraven 
on  them.  Which  being  looked  upon  by  the  Dean  and  Canons  as  old  fuper- 
fluous  ftufi\,  and  unhandfome  to  be  mixed  with  their  new  pavement,  did 
caufe  them  to  be  thrown  out  of  the  Church,  as  alfo  thofe  out  of  the  Cloifter 
when  that  was  new  paved,  being  accounted  then  by  fome  perfons  a  piece  of 
impiety.  Some  of  theie  ftones  they  caufed  to  plank  a  fink  that  conveyed 
water  under  ground  from  the  pump  in  the  great  Qiiadrangle  towards  their 
houfe  of  eafement,  by  Trillmill  ftream,  and  others  they  appointed  for  bafe 
ufes.  Which  Aft  of  theirs,  though  it  was  for  the  decency  of  the  Church, 
yet  it  cannot  but  be  taken  by  many  as  facrilegious,  and  in  no  wife  to  have 
been  done  by  Scholars,  and  efpecially  men  of  the  Clergy.  (170) 

Afterward  they  took  down  all  the  old  windows  (except  four  in  the  Divi- 
nity Chapel)  which  were  let  up  anciently  by  the  Canons  of  St.  Fridefwyde's 
Priory,  containing  feveral  parts  of  that  Saint's  life,  befides  the  Arms  of  many 
Noblemen  that  had  been  Benefactors  to  that  Monaftery.  Which  being  done, 
and  the  fine  Architecture  or  Cruftation  of  thofe  windows  cut  and  fawn  away, 
they  put  up  new  painted  windows  with  feveral  fcripture  ftories  in  them, 

(170)  [The  few  old  Graveftones  and  Mo-  laid  with  them.    Thefe  are  eighteen  or  nine- 

numents,    originally  depofited  in  the  Choir  teen  in  nnmber ;  which    are  all  robbed    of 

and  other  parts,   were  removed  out  of  their  their  brafles  except  two  or  three.  (Br.  Wil-

man, an.  1^34.  Some  of  them  were  put  up  at  the  fole  charge  of  the  Houfe, 
and  others  by  theft  perfons  following,  viz.  Basil  Wood,  LL.  D.  fometime 
Fellow  of  All  Souls  College,  afterward  Chancellor  of  St.  Afaph  and  Rochef- 
ter,  and  at  length  of  the  diocefe  of  Oxon  ;  Edward  Cotton,  (171)  fa- 
ther to  Dr.  Cotton,  who  gave  to  the  New  Building  :  Mr.  Robert  Burton,

But  thefe  windows  continuing  no  longer  than  till  an.  1648,  were  then, 
as  anti-chriftian,  diabolical,  and  popilh,  at  firft  broken ;  and,  to  prevent  their 
utter  ruin  by  the  reftlefs  and  never  to  be  fatisfied  Prefbyterians,  all  taken 
down.  So  that  pofiibly  had  the  old  windows  reniained  till  then  they  might

XIV.      TRINITY     COLLEGE. 

DURHAM  College,  a  Nurfery  for  the  Monks  of  Durham,  being 
among  other  religious  places  diffolved  by  King  Henry  VIII,  was  by 
the  letters  patent  of  King  Edward  VI,  bearing  date  Febr.  4,  an.  reg.  7, 
[1552-3,]  granted  (i)  with  all  its  appurtenances  (fo  far  as  the  fite  (2)  thereof 
extended)  to  George  Owen,  of  Godftow  in  this  County,  Efq.  one  of  his  Phy- 
ficians,  and  William  Martyn,  Gent,  by  paying  yearly  to  him,  his  heirs  and 
fucceffors,  fix  and  twenty  Ihillings  and  two  pence. 

This  being  done,  they  by  their  (3)  indenture  dated  Febr.  20,  in  the  firft

by  the  name  of  a  MefTuage,  with  all  its  appurtenances,  to  Thomas  Pope,  of 
Tyttenhanger  in  the  county  of  Hertford,  Knight ;  who  forthwith  taking  pof- 
fellion  of  it,  and  obtaining  a  (4)  difcharge  from  the  faid  G.  Owen,  for  his  or 
the  College's  paying  the  faid  26s.  2d.  did  (being  defirous  to  make  it  an  houfe 
of  learning  for  Academical  Scholars)  procure  (5)  Licenfe  of  the  King  and 
Queen  on  the  8th  of  March  following,  to  ere^fl,  eftablifh,  and  found,  a  Col-

All  which,  being  in  number  twelve,  befides  the  Prefident,  the  Founder  re- 
ferved  to  himfelf  and  executors  at  that  time,  authority  of  eleding  the  reft  of 
the  Fellows  and  Scholars,  till  fuch  time  the  number  exprefied  in  the  King's 
licenfe  was  completed. 

To  him  alfo  the  King  gave  licenfe  at  the  fame  time,  that  he  might  erefl  a 
School  at  Hokenorton,  or  elfewhere,  in  honour  of  Jesus,  and  to  endow  it 
with  fufficient  maintenance  for  a  Mafter  and  Ufher,  having  intentions,  as  'tis 
probable,  that  the  faid  School  fliould  be  a  Nurfery  for  this  his  College. 
But  the  defign  took  not  effe6t,  becaufe  it  appears  elfewhere,  in  a  writing (8) 
dated  Apr.  i,  in  the  firft  and  fecond  year  of  Philip  and  Mary,  that  he  had 
intentions  to  build  the  faid  School  at  Dedington,  the  place  of  his  birth,  in 
this  county,  and  to  have  it  called  B^&ffUJS  ^CoTet 

After  the  fettlement  of  the  faid  Prefident,  Fellows,  and  Scholars,  he  fur- 
nifhed  their  Houfe  with  all  neceffaries  ;  that  is  to  fay,  their  Library,  to  which

MSS.  (9)  Then  Houfhold  Stuff  for  their  Hall,  Kitchen,  and  Buttery,  as  in

in  the  year  following,  (11)  much  more-,  confifting  chiefly  of  Plate;  befides 
what  he  left  in  his  will,  which  (12)  was  delivered  to  the  College  in  the  fixth 
year  of  Q^  Elizabeth,  by  Sir  Hugh  Pawlet,  Knt.  and  Dame  Elizabeth  his 
wife,  Executrix  to,  and  late  wife  of,  the  Founder.  (13)  All  which  fur'niture 
whether  books,  plate,  or  Houfhold  fluff,  he  obtained  from  Wroxton  Priory, 
or  other  religious  places,  (14)  which  he  bought,  at  the  diffolution,  of  the 
Kino;. 

But  to  return  :  The  Founder,  confulting  for  the  government  of  thefe 
his  Scholars,  gave  them  Statutes,  dated  at  Tyttenhanger,  May  i,  1555, 
wherein  (15)  I  find  that  he  ereded  and  endowed  this  place  for  the  encreafe 
and  public  profit  of  his  country,  and  augmentation  of  orthodox  faith  and 
Chriflian  religion,  and  for  the  perpetual  fuftenance  of  poor  Scholars  livino-  in 
the  Univerfity  :  for  the  maintaining  alfo  of  the  number  of  twenty  Scholars,. 
to  be  always,  when  defedive,  annually  fupplied.  Of  the  faid  number  twelve 
were  to  be  ftiled  Fellows,  and  to  apply  themfelves  to  the  (ludy  of  Philofo- 
phy  and  Divinity  ;  and  the  other  eight,  who  were  to  be  Scholars,  to  employ 
their  ftudies  in  polite  learning.  Logic,  and  Philofophy ;  and  all  to  be  eleded 
out  of  thofe  diocefes  and  places  wherein  the  College  hath  benefices,  manors, 
or  other  revenues  allotted  for  their  maintenance;  or  elfe  (16)  in  any  of  thefe 
Manors  following,  wherein  the  laid  Scholars  were  born,  or  their  parents  inha- 
bitants in  them,  viz. 

Bradwell,  Filkyns,  Broughton,  Cogges,  Wilcote,  Northlye,  Enfton,  Dun- 
thorp,  Seawell,  Hokenorton,  Swerford,  Wyggynton,  Ardley,  Tadmarton, 
Wollafton,  and  March-Baldington,  in  the  county  of  Oxford  :  In  Compton- 
parva  and  Dumbleton  in  the  county  of  Gloucefter  :  in  Shottelwell  and  Light- 
horne  in  the  county  of  Warwick :  Arlefton,  Hilton,  Egginton,  Swindefen, 
Barrow,  Steinfon,  Normanton,  and  Afhe,  in  the  county  ot  Derby :  Knottino- 
in  the  county  of  Bedford:  Tyttenhanger  and  Ridge  in  the  county  of  Hert- 
ford, and  Ditton  m  the  county  of  Kent. 

In  all  which  towns,  the  Founder  [or  the  College]  then  held  pofTefTions ;  and 
if  there  were  none  capable  out  of  the  faid  places,  at  the  time  of  eledion  on 
the  morrow  after  Trinity  Sunday,  then  the  Prefident  and  Fellows  were  to 
choofe  whom  they  think  moll  fit  out  of  any  county,  fo  that  the  parties  to  be 
elected  be  born  in  England  and  the  Ifles  and  confines  adjoining;  and  that 
they  Ihould  make  fuch  eleftion,  that  there  fhould  not  be  above  two  of  a 
county,  except  that  of  Oxford,  of  which  there  fliould  be  five,  and  no  more. 

The  30th  of  the  laid  month  of  May  in  the  fame  year,  viz.  1556,  the 
Founder  made  a  formal  fettlement  of  the  faid  number  of  twelve,  befides-

eight  more  which  he  by  his  own  power elefted,  viz.  four  Fellows  (17)  and  four' 
Scholars,  (17*)  making  up  the  number  twenty.  On  that  day  alfo,  being  Trinity 
funday,  the  Founder  eftabliflied  and  confirmed  his  College,  and  caufed  the  firft 
Prefidcnt  and  Fellows  to  be  fworn :  and  then  having  caufed  a  folemn  Gaudy 
to  be  kept  in  the  Refedory,  were  feveral  of  the  Clergy  and  Laity  invited. 
Amono-the  former  was  one  Mr.  Tho.  Sotherne,  fometime  Proftorof  the  Uni- 
verfity,  and  then  Trealurer  of  the  Cath.  of  Exeter,  who  gave  20I.  in  pure  gold, 
befides  what  he  promifed  in  his  will,  which  was  50I.  received  within  few  years 
after  by  the  College  (18) :  Among  the  Laity  were  at  leaft  twelve  that  gave 
monies  for  the  maintaining  of  Gaudies  on  that  day  (19),  fome  of  which 
were  Leonard  (20)  Love,  Gent.  Sir  George  Gifford,  Kt.  Antony  and  Richard 
Ardern,  Gentlemen,  &c.  all  of  them  of  this  county  j  Edmund  Irifhe,  Alder- 
man, Thomas  Furze,  John  Bridgeman,  inhabitants  of  Oxford.  (21)  The  year 
following,  which  was  15^7^  Sept.  10,  he  fettled  (22)  more  lands  on  the  Col- 
lege, lying  in  com.  Oxon.  to  the  end  that  it  might  be  fupplied  with  certain 
neceflaries,  as  fewel,  malt,  and  wheat  •,  and  to"  maintain  alfo  Gaudies  for  the 
Fellows  on  the  five  obit  days  (23),  which  he  appointed:  that  alfo  out  of  the 
faid  lands  there  lliould  be  yearly  allowed  17I.  is.  4d.  for  to  find  and  main- 
tain four  poor  Scholars  of  fuch  fort,  degree  and  abilities,  as  by  the  Statutes 
of  the  faid  College  the  other  eight  Scholars  of  the  faid  foundation  are  ap- 
pointed to  be.  Which  four  Scholars  were  immediately  after  the  Founder's 
deceafe  to  be  chofen  into  the  faid  College,  in  fuch  form,  fort  and  time,  that 
the  other  eight  were-,  each  to  have  2I.  12s.  yearly  for  their  commons  and  diet, 
and  il.  13s.  4d.  for  their  wages,  That  alfo  from  the  faid  lands  fhould  be  20s.

BUILDINGS. 


AT  the  firft  foundation  of  this  College  by  Sir  Thomas  Pope,  the  Build- 
ings were  no  more  nor  no  other,  than  what  belonged  to  the  Monks  of  Dur- 
ham;  which  being  greatly  ruined,  were  by  him  rather  repaired  for  prefent 
ufe  than  for  ornament.  Afterward  Dr.  Kettell  Prefident,  did,  about  the  be- 
ginning of  K.  James's  reign,  make  Cock-lofts  (^6)  about  theQiiadrangle  (ex- 
cept the  weft  fide,  and  fome  part  of  the  fouth)  whereas  there  were  none  before, 
and  as  fcarce  cieling  next  to  the  dates  in  fome  chambers.  (57)  About  the  fame 
time  he  erefted  paper  buildings  near  the  old  kitchen,  at  the  north  end  of  the 
Refedlory,  and  not  long  after  others  alfo,  as  anon  fhall  be  Ihewed.  (58) 

In  this  condition  the  College  remained  till  1643,  at  which  time  Dr.  Ket- 
tell died  :  afterward,  civil  wars  encreafing,  and  variety  of  government  follow- 
ing, the  buildings  rather  ran  to  ruin  than  flourifhed,  notwithftanding  full  of 
Scholars  and  fome  of  note  too.  At  length,  when  Dr.  Bathurft  became  Pre- 
fident, (to  which  office  he  was  admitted  15  Sept.  1664)  he  did  the  fame  year 
make  great  alterations  and  reparations  on  the  Lodgings  belonging  to  him, 
fituate  and  being  on  the  eaft  fide  of  the  Quadrangle.  Which  being  done, 
and  thoughts  entertained  of  enlarging  the  College,  they  proceeded  with  the 
ftock  of  money  they  had  got  among  themfelves,  and  other  fums  that  were 
promifed,  to  begin  a  new  Quadrangle,  in  the  Fellows'  garden,  on  the  north 
iide,  and  beyond  the  old  Quadrangle.  So  that  the  next  year,  in  the  fummer, 
the  firft  ftone  being  laid  by  the  Prefidenc,  in  the  prefence  of  the  Fellows,  fo 
much  of  it  that  they  then  defigned,  fal.  the  north  fide,  was  finifhed  in  the 
year  1667,  with  a  roof  not  fo  fteep  as  other  buildings  are,  but  more  fiat,  ac- 
cording to  a  fafhion  received  into  England  about  twenty  years  before,  and 
never  feen  inOxon  till  this  was  finifhed.  (59)    At  the  fame  time  was  part  of

**  My  hon''  Friend, 

I  am  convinced  with  Machiavell,  or 
fome  fuch   unluclcy  fellow,  'tis  no  matter 


whether  I  quote  trew,  that  the  world  is  go- 
verned by  Wordes.  I  perceive  the  Name 
of  a  Quadrangle  will  carrie  it  with  thole  you 
fay  maypoffibly  be  yourBenefaftours,  though 
it  be  much  the  worfe  fituation  for  the  Cham- 
bers, and  the  Beauty  of  the  College,  and  the 
Beauty  of  the  particular  Pile  of  Building; 
and  if"  I  had  fkill  in  enchantment  to  repre- 
fent  the  Pile  firft  in  one  view  then  in  another, 
that  the  difference  might  be  evidently  feen, 
I  fhould  certainly  make  them  of  my  opinion: 
or  elfe  I'll  appeale  to  Monfieur  Manzard,  or 
Signior  Bernini,  both  which  I  fhall  fee  at 
Paris  within  this  fortnight.  But,  to  be  fobcr, 
if  any  body,  as  you  fay,  will  pay  for  a  Qua- 
drangle, there  is  no  difpute  to  be  made  :  let 
them  have  a  Quadrangle,  though  a  lame  one, 
fomewhat  like  a  three  legged  table.  I  fent

"  Good  Mr.  Prefident, 

I  much  thanke  you  for  your  laft  let-

with  fome  inconveniences,  yet  fuch  they  are

when  they  are  entered. 

Much  about  the  fame  time,  1665,  was  a  Common-Chamber  made  up  out 
of  a  lower  room  belonging  to  a  Fellow,  {66)  between  the  common  gate  and 
fouth  end  of  the  public  Refeftory ;  to  the  end  that  the  Fellows  might  meet 
together  (chiefly  in  the  evenings  after  refedtion)  partly  about  bufmefs,  but 
moftly  for  fociety  fake,  which  before  was  at  each  chamber  by  turns.  And 
this  was  done  in  imitation  of  other  Colleges,  that  had  began  before,  of  which 
Merton  College  was  the  firft,  an.  1661. 

What  other  buildings  hath  fince  been  added,  hath  been  a  fair  Kitchen, 
with  a  Cellar  [6y)  under,  and  chambers  over  it,  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  pub-

Hall,  or  Refeftory,  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  Quadrangle,  was  no  other  at 
firft  than  the  old  Hall  belonging  fometime  to  Durham  College  ;  which  being 
in  great  decay,  and  not  able  to  contain  the  number  of  Scholars  in  Dr.  Kettel's 
time,  was  pulled  down,  an.  1618  -,(69)  and  this  now  {landing  in  its  place 
was  built  two  years  after,  with  chambers  over,  and  a  very  fair  cellar  under 
it,  by  the  College,  (70)  and  benefa6lion  of  feveral  perfons.  I  have  been  in- 
formed by  ancient  Scholars,  that  there  were  in  the  old  windows,  the  effigies

furniftied  in  good  fort  with  books,  as  is  before  faid.  After  him,  the  firft  and 
fecond  Prefident,  and  divers  of  the  firft  Fellows,  enlarged  the  number.  For

being  defirous  to  eredl  and  found  fome  place  for  the  encreafe  of  learnino- 
within  the  Univerfity  of  Oxford  (his  intentions  for  that  purpofe  at  Readino-, 
his  native  place,  before  quitted)  ( i )  licenfe  was  granted  to  him  by  K.  Phil,  and 
Q^  Mary,  on  the  firft  day  of  May  in  the  firPc  and  fecond  year  of  their  reigns, 
Dom.  155:;,  that  he  might,  to  the  praife  and  honour  of  God,  the  Viro-in 
Mary,  and  St.  John  Baptill,  erefl  and  found  a  certain  College  for  the  learn-

Prefident,  thirty  Graduate  or  not  Graduate  Scholars,  or  more  or  lefs,  accordino- 
to  the  ordinations  and  ftatutes  to  be  made  by  the  faid  Sir  Thomas,  his  heirs 
and  fucceffors,  in  a  certain  capital  MefTuage,  with  its  appurtenances,  lately 
called  Bernard  College,  in  the  parilli  of  St.  Mary  Magdalen,  without  the 
north  gate  of  the  City  of  Oxford  •,  (i*)  and  that  the  faid  College  fo  erecled, 
founded,  and  eftabiiilied,  might  be  called  and  written  St.  John  Baptist 
College  in  the  University  of  Oxford. 

Which  licenfe  being  obtained,  he  got  a  (2)  grant  of  the  faid  capital  Mef- 
fuage  on  the  25th  of  the  faid  month,  together  with  fo  much  of  the  Grove 
that  then  belonged  to  it ;  of  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Chrift  Church,  in  Ox- 
ford, by  paying  twenty  Ihillings  yearly  for  it  -,  but  with  this  condition,  that 
the  faid  SirTwoMAS  or  his  Affigns,  fliould  make  choice  of  the  firft  Head  or 
Governor  thereof  from  the  number  of  the  Canons  or  Studen-ts  of  Chrift 
Church  ;  and  for  ever  after  from  time  to  time,  when  the  faid  Headlhip  fliould 
be  void,  either  by  death,  deprivation,  refignation,  or  what  way  foever  elfe, 
the  Fellows  of  the  laid  College  ftiould  choofe  another  Head  from  among 
themfelves,  or  from  the  foundation  of  Chrift  Church.  And  the  faid  Head 
afterward,  whether  chofen  out  of  this  College,  or  out  of  Chrift  Church, 
ftiould  be  admitted  and  eftabliftied  by  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  that  place,

The  faid  Dean  and  Chapter  would  then  have  articled  (3)  with  Sir  Thomas, 
that  they  and  their  fucceffors  might  be  Vifitors  of  this  his  College,  for  the

foucrht  for  fuch  a  tree,  but  found  none.  Afterward,  upon  further  confidera- 
tion°  he  went  to  Oxford,  and  diligently  enquired  after  fuch  an  elm.  At

Therefore 


ST.     J  O  H  N'S      COLLEGE.  537 

Therefore  what  is  faid  of  the  worthy  Founder  by  a  certain  (6)  Author  (who 
errs  in  moft  things  relating  to  matters  of  antiquity}  that  he  (hould  meet  with 
fomething  near  Gloceiler  Hall  that  feemed  to  anfwer  his  dream,  where  ac- 
cordingly he  erefted  a  great  deal  of  building,  is  utterly  falfe  ;  for  that  place, 
then  called  Gloceiler  College,  did  belong  to  another  perlbn,  and  the  Found  e^i 
beftowed  nothing  on  it  till  four  years  after  this  College  was  founded,  at  which 
time  it  was  by  him  bought  and  converted  into  an  Hall. 

The  29th  of  the  faid  Month  of  May,  in  the  fame  year  before  mentioned 
(viz.  1555)  Sir  Thomas,  by  virtue  of  the  beforemenrionedlicenfe,  did  build, 
appoint,  and  (7)  eftablilh  in  the  faid  melTuage  a  perpetual  College  for  one 
Prefident,  and  three  Graduate  Scholars  in  the  name  of  more,  to  be  added 
hereafter ;  appointing  then  alfo  that  the  faid  College  fliould  be  called  and 
written  St.  John  Baptist's  College.  Furthermore  alfo  he  did  miake  and 
create  Alexander  Belfire,  Bach,  of  Div.  and  Canon  of  Chrift-Church,  the 
firft  Prefident  ;  Ralph  Wyndon,  Edw.  Chambre,  and  Henry  D'awbeney, 
Mafters  of  Arts,  the  firft  Scholars  of  the  faid  Houfe,  giving  them  at  that 
time  the  faid  Capital  MefiTuage  with  the  whole  nte  and  precincts  thereof,  to- 
gether with  his  part  of  one  virgult,  commonly  called  the  Grove,  joining  to 
the  faid  Mefi^'uage.  For  the  maintenance  alfo  of  the  faid  Prefident  and  Fel- 
lows he  endowed  the  Houfe  with  fix  and  thirty  pound  yearly  rent,  which  was 
due  to  him  from  the  Mayor  and  Commonalty  of  Coventry,  and  alfo  with  the 
manors  of  Long  Wittenham,  Fyfhyde  alias  Fyfelde,  Comnor,  Eton  alias 
Eaton,  Kynftone-Bakepuze,  Frylfham  alias  Frytiham  alias  Frylford,  and  Gar- 
ford,  with  all  appurtenances  in  Berkfliireand  Oxfordfliire,  befide  other  lands 
and  advowlbns  of  certain  Churches.  All  which  being  done,  the  King  and 
Queen,  by  their  letters  (8)  pat.  dated  on  the  firft  of  May,  3  and  4  reg.  did 
grant  divers  privileges  and  liberties  thereunto,  which  I  fliall  for  brevity  now 
pafs  over. . 

But  the  Founder  foon  after,  having  a  defire  to  encreafe  the  revenues  of 
his  College,  did  appoint  the  Scholars  thereof  other  ftudies,  and  enlarge  their 
number-,  caufed  the  firft  Foundation  Charter  to  be  laid  afide,  and  an- 
other (9)  to  be  iflPued  forth,  dated  5  March,  4th  and  5th  of  Phil,  and  Mary, 
Dom.  1557.  By  which  Charter  he  added  a  confiderable  enlargement  of  rents, 
ifiTuing  from  feveral  lands  in  Berklhire,  and  elfewhere,  founded  his  College 
for  the  learning  of  Theology,  Philolbphy,  Canon  and  Civil  Law,  as  alfo  tor 
other  good  Arts,  and  fettled  the  follov/ing  Prefident  and  Scholars  therein. 

The  President  was  Alexander  Belsire,  of  whom  before. 

The  Graduate  Scholars  were 

I.  John  Bavant,  M.  A.  lately  of  Chrift-Church,  Tutor  to  Gregory  Mar-

All  thefe  matters  being  done,  the  Fou^JDER  gave  them  Statutes,  whereby 
they  and  their  fucceffors  were  to  be  duly  governed,  appointing  (13)  therein 
the  number  of  one  Prefident,  fifty  Fellows  and  Scholars  (14)  (of  which

So  that  the  faid  four  acres  being  fettled,  for  the  enlargemant  of  the  College, 
were  with  the  outward  Grove,  which  the  Founder  gave  them,  enclofed  with  a

Thus  far  the  Founder,  who  in  his  will  bequeathed  to  this  his  College 
three  thoufand  pounds  to  purchafe  more  lands  -,  and  thus  far  concerning  the 
Foundation  of  the  College,  upon  whofe  defire  and  fupplication(2o)  to  the 
Congregation  of  Regent  Mafters,  17  Dec.  1565  (occafioned  by  a  vifitation 
that  was  to  come  on  the  College)  it  was  then  granted,  that  the  faid  College 
ihould  be  a  member  of  the  Univerfity,  and  that  the  Prefident  and  Scholars 
thereof  fhould  be  partakers  of  all  privileges,  liberties  and  franchifes,  which 
other  Colleges  or  Societies  do  or  ought  to  enjoy.  Which  being  allowed,  the 
Univerfity  let  their  feal  to  a  formal  writing  in  parchment,  dat.  Jan.  18,  fol- 
lowing, concerning  that  matter,  and  was,  as  a  (21)  teftimonial  of  fuch  a 
thing  done,  repofcd  among  the  muniments  of  this  Houfe. 

Furthermore,  that  the  College  might  have  a  walk  before  the  Gate,  and 
thereon  ered  a  wall  for  the  defence  of  the  front  thereof,  the  Society  purchafed 
a  piece  of  ground  of  Sir  Chriftopher  Brome,  Knt.  Lord  of  North-gate  hun-

XVI.      JESUS      COLLEGE. 

TH  E  next  College  in  order,  that  I  muft  proceed  to  fpeak  of,  is  that  of 
Jesus,  oppofite  to  Exeter  College,  and  in  the  Parifli  of  St.  Michael : 
for  the  foundation  of  which  I  find  Hugh  ap  Rice  (i)  or  Price,  Doctor  of 
the  Civil  Law,  of  this  Univerfity,  and  Treafurer  of  St.  David's,  to  have  been 
the  chief  inftrument.  For  he  being  well  ftricken  in  years,  entertained 
thoughts  how  he  might  beftow  his  eftate  for  fome  pious  ufe  :  at  length, 
after  confultation  had  with  his  friends  concerning  the  matter,  petitioned 
Queen  Elizabeth,  that  fhe  would  be  pleafed  to  found  a  College  in  Oxford> 
on  which  he  might  beftow  his  faid  eftate  for  the  maintenance  of  certain 
Scholars  of  Wales  to  be  trained  up  in  good  letters. 

The  Qiieen  therefore  upon  his  defire  grants  her  (2)  Charter  for  that  pur- 
pofe,  dated  27  June,  an.  reg.  13,  Dom.  15711  wherein  I  obferved  thefe  things 
following,  viz. 

I.  That  Ihe  founded  the  faid  College  on  the  fcite  and  precin6ts  of  an  an- 
cient Hoftle  or  Hall  called  Whyte  Hall  (fomelime  belonging  to  the  Priory 
of  St.  Fridefwyde)  by  the  name  of  Jesus  College  within  the  Citie  and 
Universitie  of  Oxford  of  Queen  Elizabeth's  foundation.  (3) 

II.  That  in  the  faid  College  there  Ihould  be  a  Principal,  eight  Fellows, 
and  eight  Scholars ;  the  firft  of  which  were,  by  her  appointment,  (according  to 
Dr.  Price's  mind)  thefe  following  : 

The  Principal  was  David  Lewes,  Dodor  of  the  Laws. 

The  Fellows  were  Thomas  Huycke  LL.  D.  of  Mert.  Coll.  John  Lloyd, 
John  Cottrell  of  New  Coll.  William  Aubre  fometime  of  All  Souls,  Rob. 
Lougher  of  the  faid  College,  all  Doflors  of  the  Laws  ;  Robert  Johnlbri 
Bach,  of  Divinity,  Thomas  Huyt,  and  John  Higgenion,  Mafters  of  Arts. 

The  Scholars  were  George  Downhali,  Lancelot  Andrews,  afterward  Bp 
of  Winchefter,  John  Wylford,  Francis  Yeomans,  William  Plat,  Thomas 
Dove,  afterward  Bp  of  Peterborough,  John  Ofmond  and  William  Garth.  (4) 

III.  That  for  the  maintenance  of  the  faid  number  Dr.  Price,  and  his 
executors  or  afiigns,  might  fettle  revenues  on  the  faid  College  to  the  yearly 
value  of  an  hundred  and  fixty  pounds. 

IV.  Tliat  for  the  building  of  the  laid  College  a  confiderable  quantity  of 
timber  was  allowed  out  of  the  Forefts  of  Shotover  and  Scow  •,  and

Soon  after  the  endowment  was  made  by  Dr.  Price,  the  building  went

"Whyte  Hall  ooi  the  weft,  and.  the  way  leading  from.  Exeter  College  to  All 
Saints  Church. on  the  eaft. 

Which  garden  ground  Richard  Gunter,  Alderman  of  Oxford,  had  by  his

BUILDIITGS. 

AS  for  the  fabric  of  this  College  I  fhall;  Uncording  to  the  method  hitherto 
vifed,  either  tell  you  of  the  Builder  of,  or  Benefaftor  to  it.  The  fore 
front  therefore  of  the  firft  Qiiadrangle,  which  loyketh  eaftward,  and  the  eaft 
half  of  the  fouth  fide  of  the  faid  Quadrangle,  were  built,  as  I  have  already 
mentioned,  by  Dr.  Price,  the  Qtieen  allowing  moft  part  of  the  timber  to- 
wards it.  The  other  half  of  the  faid  fouth  fide  was  built  by  Sir  Eubule 
Thelwall,  about  the  year  1625,  partly  with  the  monies  which  Principal 
Powell  left,  and  partly- with  thofe  of  Dr.  Price. 

The  Kitchen  and  Buttery,  with  the  Chambers  over  them,  were  begun  and 
brought  to  a  confiderable  forwardnefs  by  the  endeavours  of  Princ.  Powell  ; 
■who  for  that  end  and  purpofe  obtained  the  benefaftion  of  divers  Perfons 
living  in  Oxford,  in  the  county  thereof,  in  London,  Chefhire,  and  Wales, 
an.  1618,  or  thereabouts.  But  he  dying  before  they  were  quite  finilhed,  were 
completed  by  the  faid  Sir  Eubule. 

The  Principal's  Lodgings  between  the  Chapel  and  Hall  were  totally  built 
by  Sir  Eubule  alfo ;  wherein  he  made  a  very  fair  dining  room,  adorned  with 
wainfcot  curioufiy  engraven. 

The  new  buildings  beyond  the  Quadrangle  on  the  weft  fide,  which  are 
now  reducing  to  another  quadrangle,  were  thus  begun  and  finifhed.  More 
than  half  of  the  fouth  fide,  and  as  much  of  the  north,  were  built  by  Dr.  Man- 
sell,  an.  1640,  with  monies  which  he  procured  abroad,  and  from  Com- 
moners in  the  College  •,  and  being  confident  of  benefaflors  to  advance  mo- 
nies to  finifii  it,  he  took  down  the  Library,  which  Sir  Eubule  Thelwall  had 
built,  and  ereded  in  its  place  the  faid  better  half  of  the  north  fide,  with  in- 
tentions that  the  weft  fide  of  the  faid  Quadrangle  fhould  be  all  (or  the  moft 
part)  for  a  Library.  Towards  which  work,  and  completing  of  thp  faid  Qtia- 
drangle,.Sir  Lewes  MANSELL,of  Margam,Bt.  his  firft  coufin,  gave  50I.  per 
an.  for  feveral  years ;  Dr.  Morgan  Owen,  Bp  of  LandafF,  30I.  Sir  Nicho- 
las KEMEYs,Bt.  20I.  and  "  Carne  of  Wenny,  Efq.  lol.  for  feveral 
.years  alfoj  but  wars  coming  on,  and  diftradion  thereupon  following,  the 
building  was  left  imperfedl,  and  the  good  Dodor  refunded  feveral  fums  of 
the  money  back  again.  Yet  in  the  year  1676  the  fouth  fide  of  the  faid  Qua- 
drangle was  finilhed  at  the  charge  of  Sir  Leoline  Jenkins,  Knt.  which  be- 
ing done,  a  Library  was  eredled  on  the  weft  fide,  as  I  fhall  tell  you  anon. 

[The  north  weft  corner  of  the  new  Qiiadrangle  was  built  in  the  year  1713. 
And  the  eaft  front  of  the  firft  Quadrangle  was  rebuilt  in  1756.  Over  the 
Gateway  are  the  Arms  of  Dr.  Hugh  Price,  now  borne  by  the  College ;  as 
below,  in  the  Hall.] 

Hall,  or  Refectory,  which  ftands  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  firft  Qua- 
drangle (and  is  the  greater  part  of  the  eaft  fide  of  the  new  buildings)  was 
creded  in  Principal  Powell's  time,  about  the  year  1617,  with  the  monies

who  left  nothing  undone  which  might  conduce  to  the  good  of  the  College. 
I  have  heard  his  fucceffor,  Dr.  IMani'ell,  fay,  that  the  College  was  near  5000I. 
the  better  for  him,  and  that  he  would  have  fettled  his  whole  eftate  on  it, 
which  was  very  confiderable,  if  he  had  not  been  difobliged  by  fome  perfons, 
who  were  very  adive  in  oppofing  his  intentions  to  place  his  fucceffor.

Library,  which  ftood  in  the  place  where  the  north  fide  of  the  new  Qua- 
drangle now  is,  was  firft  began  by  Sir  Eubule  Thelwall  an.  1626,  but  car- 
ried on  by  the  benefaftion  of  others,  of  whom  the  moft  confiderable  was  the 
Lady  Anne  Bromley,  late  the  wife  of  Sir  Henry  Bromley,  Knt.  who 
gave  an  hundred  pounds.  Which  being  finilhed,  with  a  walk  under,  and 
chambers  ever  it  for  Servitors,  the  rnanufcripts  that  Sir  John  Prise  of 
Portham  in  Hereford  (hi  re,  Kt.  had  before  given,  were  put  therein.  Afterward 
divers  gave  books,  among  whom  were  Mr.  William  Prichard,  before 
mentioned,  befides  an  hundred  pounds,  of  which  part  was  employed  to  buy 
others.  Dr.  Oliver  Lloyd,  who  died  at  London  about  17  March,  an. 
1632-3,  alfo  gave  all  his  Law  Books  after  the  death  of  his  nephew  Oliver 
Lloyd,  Fellow  of  All  Souls  College.  Edward  Herbert,  Lord  Cher- 
bury,  gave  his  London  Library  an.  1648.  Dr.  Manse ll  his  whole  ftudy, 
which  was  very  confiderable,  befides  many  other  books.  So  that  the  faid 
Library,  continuing  no  longer  than  to  the  year  1639,  was  then  pulled  down 
by  Dr.  Manfell,  with  a  defign  that  it  fhould  be  built  on  the  weft  fide  of  the 
Quadrangle,  then  intended  to  be  built ;  but  civil  wars  approaching,  the  work 
ceafed,  and  no  Library  was  built,  no  not  fo  much  as  a  ftone  laid  ;  fo  that  the 
books  which  were  to  be  put  therein,  were  laid  in  an  upper  room  or  loft  over 
thofe  chambers  that  are  above  the  Buttery  and  Kitchen.  At  length  two  or 
three  tenements  being  bought  in,  that  ftood  in  Cheney  lane,  a  fair  Library 
was  ered:ed  in  an.  1677,  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  new  Quadrangle,  all  done  at 
the  charge  of  Sir  Leoline  Jenkins,  Knt.  fometime  Principal,  of  this  Col- 
lege, then  Judge  of  the  Prerogative  Court,  and  in  an.  1679  the  aforemen- 
tioned Library  of  Books  was  removed  into  it. 

[The  faid  Sir  Leoline,  who  died  in  1685,  having  given  by  his  will  '  to  the 
Society  of  Dodlors-Commons  40  volumes  in  folio  or  quarto  of  Law  or  other 
books,  to  begin  their  Library,'  he  bequeathed  to  this  College  '  the  reft  of 
his  Books.  (24^) 

Jonathan  Edwards, D.D.  Principal,  gave  in  his  life  time feveral  books, 
printed  and  MS,  and  bequeathed  at  his  death  in  1712,  his  Library  of  near 
1000  Books  more.] 

Chapel,  on  the  north  fide  of  the  firft  Quadrangle,  was  built  in  Principal 
Powell's  time  by  the  benevolence  chiefly  of  the  Welch  gentry.  Which  be- 
ing furniftied  by  the  care  of  Sir  Eubule  Thelwall,  was  confecrated  to  the 
memory  of  Jesus  Christ,  28  May  1621,  by  Dr.  JohnHowfon,  Bp  of  Ox- 
ford ;  at  which  time  Thom.  Prichard,  Mafter  of  Arts  and  Vice  Principal,

THE  Priory  of  the  Auften  Fryers  without  Smyth-gate  in  the  north  fub- 
urbs  of  Oxford,  being  among  other  religious  places  diffolved,  the  fite 
thereof  (part  of  which  was  parcel  of  the  poirellions  of  the  Priory  of  Clatter- 
cote  in  this  county)  was  by  King  Henry  VIII  (i)  demifed  by  indenture, 
dated  20  Decemb.  an.  reg.  33,  to  Thomas  Cawarden  (commonly  called  Car- 
den)  Efq.  for  the  term  of  one  and  twenty  years.  In  his  hands  it  continued 
(as  it  feems)  till  6  Edw.  VI,  Dom.  1552,  by  paying  yearly  for  it  three 
pounds,  (that  is  to  fay,  for  the  houfe  and  fite  fix  and  forty  [hillings,  and  for 
a  tenement  laying  in  Long-rew,  and  a  fhop  adjoining,  thirteen  fliillings  and 
fourpence)  and  then  the  King  being  minded  to  fhift  his  hands  of  it,  granted 
it  by  his  letters  patent,  dated  May  16,  in  the  aforcfaid  year,  to  Henry  Duke 
of  Suffolk,  and  to  Thomas  Duport,  Gendeman  i  but  they  keeping  it  no 
longer  than  till  the  23d  of  the  faid  month,  did  then  (2)  convey  the  laid  fite 
and  tenement  to  Henry  Baylie,  Dodlor  of  Phyfic,  lately  Fellow  of  New 
College,  by  paying  to  the  faid  Duke,  and  his  heirs,  five  and  forty  fhillings 
and  eightpence,  nomine  decima  et  decima  partis  iyide.  From  the  faid  Baylie  it 
came  by  (3)  fale  16  Aug.  in  the  firft  of  Q^  Mary,  Dom.  1553,  to  his  father- 
in-law  Edward  Freere,  of  Oxford,  Efq.  who  leaving  it  to  his  fon  William 
Freere,  was  by  him  on  the  20  Sept.  29  Elizab.  (he  having  before  made  feve- 
ral  leafes  of  it  to  the  City,  to  the  end  that  the  fair  yearly  kept  there  before 
the  common  gate  might  not  be  prejudicial  to  them)  fold  (4)  to  the  Mayor, 
Bailliffs,  and  Commonalty  thereof  for  the  liim  of  about  430I.  So  that  they 
being  in  full  pofTefTion  of  it,  fold  it  foon  after  to  the  Foundress  of  Wad- 
ham  College,  as  I  am  about  to  tell  you. 

The  paflage  being  now  made  clear,  in  order  to  the  fpeaking  of  this  Houfe

ufed,  to  make  fuch  relation  of  it,  as  I  have  done  for  other  Houfes  of  Learn- 
ing: which  being  concluded,  I  fhall  fpeak  of  the  next,  and  fo  make  an 
end  of  the  Colleges.  But  firft  you  may  be  piealed  to  take  this  fhort  pedigree 
of  the  Founder  (for  a  longer  and  larger,  which  I  have  by  me,  I  thought  ra- 
ther to  omit  than  infert),  to  the  end  that  you  may  fatisfy  yourfelf  of  fome

of  Queen  Elizabeth's  privy  council,  (5)  having  by  their  frugality  raifed  froni

pounds  in  money,  and  had  purchafed  eight  hundred  pounds  yearly  in  lands 
and  other  revenues,  refolved  between  them  to  beftow  their  frugality  on  fome 
pious  ufe.  At  length  entertaining  thoughts  of  building  and  endowing  a 
College  at  Venice  for  the  reception  of  certain  Englifh  Scholars  of  the  Roman 
Catholic  religion  (they  themlelves  being  of  that  perfuafion)  it  was  oppor- 
tunely propofed  to  them  by  a  friend,  that,  inftead  of  performing  their  bene- 
faftion  at  that  place,  they  would  do  it  at  Oxford,  that  fo  the  Church  of  Eng- 
land might  reap  benefit  thereby.  Which  propofal  they  forthwith  embracing, 
rvir.  Wadham  made  enquiry  for  a  plot  of  ground  at  Oxford  to  put  his  reio- 
kitions  in  execution,  and  fo  in  order  to  go  on  with  the  work  •,  but  he  dying 
in  the  mean  time,  the  bufinefs  for  the  prefent  was  laid  afide.  Afterward  it 
was  found  in  his  will,  that  his  design  fiiould  go  forward  according  to  what  lie 
had  intended  in  his  lifetime,  and  that  Dorothy  his  wife,  executrix  of  his 
laif  will,  (hould  fee  it  performed  with  the  affiftance  of  certain  Feoffees  in  truil, 
of  which  fome  were  their  kindred,  others  their  fervants. 

This  being  therefore  the  ultimate  relblution  of  Mr.  Wadham,  they  pro- 
ceeded to  obtain  the  fite  of  Gloucelfer  Hall,  being  the  place  which  the  Foun- 
der had  before  defigned  •,  but  Dr.  Hawley,  the  then  Principal,  denying  to

deliver  up  his  intereft  therein,  unlefs  the  Foundress  would  make  him  the 
firft  Warden  or  Governor  of  the  College  intended,  they  quitted  that  pro- 
jed,  and  made  certain  propofals  to  the  City  of  Oxford  of  purchafing  the 
fite  of  the  Auften  Fryery  beforementioned.  Concerning  which  propofals, 
the  Citizens  having  had  feveral  counfels  and  meetings  to  give  anfwer  to  them, 
did  at  length  agree  to  fell  it;  but  with  this  condition,  (6)  that  they  might 
for  that  time  and  no  more,  have  the  nomination  and  eledion  of  one  Fellow 
and  two  Scholars  into  the  College  that  was  about  to  be  built.  This  being 
granted  by  the  Foundress  and  Feoffees,  they  accordingly  had  afterwards 
their  dcfire  by  electing  Thomas  Harrys,  fon  of  Francis  Harrys,  Vintner,  of 
Oxford,  Fellow  •,  and  William  Potter,  fon  of  William  Potter,  Woollen- 
draper,  and  Ifaac  Smyth,  fon  of  Richard  Smyth,  Taylor,  of  Oxford, 
Scholars. 

The  faid  fite  therefore  being  (7)  conveyed  to  Mrs.  Dorothy  Wadham 
by  the  Citizens  of  Oxford,  29  May,  8  Jac.  Dom.  1610,  for  the  fum  of  fix 
hundred  p-.^unds,  and  all  the  ruinous  buildings  of  the  faid  Fryery  or  Priory 
(which  chiefly  flood  on  the  fouth  part  of  the  College,  and  Ibuthward  from 
it)  pulled  down  and  levelled  with  the  ground,  the  day  for  laying  the  firft 
ftone  was  appointed-,  which  day  (the  laft  of  July)  appearing,  the  Vice- 
Chancellor,  Dodlors,  Prodors,  and  others,  met  in  St.  Mary's  Church  •,  from 
whence  going  folemnly  to  the  place  where  the  ftone  was  to  be  laid  (there 
■  being  then  prcfent  Alderman  Thomas  Harrys,  the  Mayor  of  the  City,  with 
his  brethren)  certain  finging  men  and  Chorifters  fung  Te  Deum.  Which 
being  done,  Dr.  Ryves,  Warden  of  New  College,  made  an  elegant  Oration 
in  praife  of  the  work  and  its  Founders.  After  he  had  concluded,  a  folemn 
Anthem  was  fung,  in  the  doing  of  which  the  firft  ftone  was  laid  in  the  eaft 
part  of  the  College  (where  the  Chapel  was  afterwards  built)  by  the  Vice- 
Chancellor  and  others,  and  monies  then  offered  thereon  by  them  according 
to  cuftom. 

The  work  after  this  going  cheerfully  forward,  the  Foundress  obtained 
of  the  King  a  licenfe(8)  dated  20  Dec.  in  the  aforefaid  year,  whereby  Ihe 
was  enabled 

I.  To  found  a  College  of  Divinity,  Civil  and  Canon  Law,  Phyfic,  good 
Arts  and  Sciences,  and  the  Tongues. 

II.  That  in  the  faid  College  Ihe  might  place  a  Warden,  fixteen  Fellows, 
and  thirty  Scholars,  Graduates  or  not  Graduates,  or  more  or  lefs,  according 
to  the  ordinations  and  ftatutes  of  the  faid  College  to  be  made  and  eftablifhed. 

III.  That  for  their  maintenance  ftie  might  fettle  on  the  College  fufhcient 
revenues,  &c. 

The  16th  Aug.  1 61 2,  the  College  being  not  then  finiflied,  the  Foun- 
dress, by  virtue  of  the  aforefaid  hcenfe,  iffued  out  her  foundation  Charter,

and  body  of  ftatutes,  whereby  (he  founded  and  eftablirtied  her  College  on 
the  north  part  of  the  city  of  Oxford,  in  a  place  commonly  called  the  Auften 
Fryers,  by  the  name  of  Wadham  College,  for  one  Warden,  fifteen  Fel- 
lows, fifteen  Scholars,  two  Chaplains,  two  Clerks,  a  Manciple,  two  Cooks, 
two  Butlers,  and  one  Porter.  As  for  the  Warden,  he  is  to  be  no  Bilhop, 
while  he  bears  his  office,  or  ftranger,  but  born  in  Britain,  Mafter  of  Arts  at 
lead,  and  not  married,  &c.  The  Fellows  are  to  profefs  what  faculty  they 
pleafe,  and  to  leave  their  Fellowfhips  at  eighteen  years'  end  after  their  re- 
gency of  their  Mafterfhip  is  completed.  As  for  the  Scholars  alfo,  from 
whom  the  Fellows  are  to  be  fupplied,  three  of  them  are  to  be  of  the  County 
of  Somerfet,  and  as  many  of  Eflfex,  and  the  reft  of  any  County  within  the 
Kingdom  of  Great  Britain. 

The  20th  of  April  1613,  the  Foundress  having  before  made  an  election 
of  a  Warden,  Fellows,  Scholars,  and  Chaplains,  [they]  were  then  admitted; 
which  being  the  firft  that  ever  entered  the  College,  I  fhall  give  you  their 
names,  as  they  follow. 

The  Warden  was  Robert  Wright,  D.  D.  admitted  on  that  day  in  the

an.  1628.  Samuel  Seman,  of  the  county  of  Gloucefter,  Efq.  gave  many

Humphry  Henchman,  Bifhop  of  London,  who  lodged  in  the  "Warden's 
Lodgings  at  what  time  the  Parliament  fate  at  Oxford,  1665,  gave  20I.  to

built  alfo  andfurnifhed  by  the  faid  Foundress  ;  the  confecration  of  which, 
I  find,  (23)  was  after  this  manner.  The  29th  Apr.  1613,  the  Heads  of 
Houfes,  and  Dodors  of  the  Univerfity,  meeting  Dr.  John  Bridges,  Bilhop  of 
Oxford,  at  his  houfe  or  lodging  near  St.  Mary's  Church,  went  with  him  to 
this  College  •,  where  being  received  at  the  gate  by  the  Warden  and  Fellows, 
was  conducted  to  the  Chapel  (the  mufic  both  vocal  and  inflrumental  then 
founding)  and  being  fettled  in  the  Warden's  place,  Mr.  James  Harryngton, 
Fellow  of  the  Houie,  made  an  Oration  in  Latin  to  the  Bifhop  and  the  com- 
pany :  Which  being  done,  the  faid  BifTiop  dedicated  and  confecrated  it  to 
the  memory  of  St.  Nicholas.  Afterward  preaching  a  fermon  on  the  2  2d  verfe 
of  the  lOth  chap,  of  St.  John,  he  confecrated  the  Cloifter  and  Cemirery  join- 
ing to  it  on  the  fouch  fide'.  The  high  Altar  was  paved  with  black  and  white 
marble  an.  1677,  and  the  reflof  the  inner  Chapel  the  year  following,  with 
the  money  that  Gentlemen  Commoners  gave  at  their  entrance  into  the  Col- 
lege, inflead  of  Plate  or  Book%  and  with  what  Inceptors  were  to  expend  on 
A6l-fuppers :  fo  th.it  what  was  done  as  to  that,  is  to  be  imputed  to  the  fru- 
gality of  the  College.

XVIII.      PEMBROKE      COLLEGE. 

EING  now  about  to  fpeak  of  Pembroke  College,  I  think  it  not  unfit 
if  I  fhould  give  you  my  obfervations  which  I  have  made  concerning 
Broadgates  Hall,  on  the  fite  of  which  the  faid  College  waS  founded. 

Firft,  therefore,  I  find,  that  in  times  mofl:  ancient,  there  was  a  large  Tene- 
ment in  the  corner  of  St.  Aldate's  Churchyard,  which  did  belong  to  the 
Priory  of  St.  Fridefwyde-,  from  which  the  Canons  thereof  having  received 
a  certain  quit  rent  beyond  all  record,  it  hath  caufcd  me  to  fuppole,  that  it 
was  a  place  before  (and  perhaps  after)  the  Norman  Conquell,  wherein  the 
Novices  of  that  Priory  received  their  firft  or  juvenile  learning  ;  and  for  this 
reafon  alio,  that  St.  Aldate's  Church  adjoining  (a  moiety  of  which  belonged 
anciently  to  the  faid  Priory)  is  in  (i)  Scripts,  written  in  the  time  of  King 
Henry  I,  ftiled  "  a  Monaftery  (2)  confecrated  to  the  memory  of  St.  Aldate, 
Bifliop." 

Secondly,  that  the  faid  large  Tenement  being  held  by  the  Segryms  of 
Oxford,  that  is  to  fay,  by  Mr.  Richard  Segrym,  foa(3)  of  Richard  Segrym, 
a  Burgher  of  Oxford,  fon,  as  it  feems,  or  grandibn  to  Segrym,  (4)  a  Clerk, 
who  lived  an.  1138,  fon  (5)  of  Roberi  or  Robeloci  (as  he  is  Ivmetimes  ftiled) 
was  by  the  faid  Mr,  Richard  (6)  given,  about  the  38th  of  Herry  III,  by  the 
name  of  a  great  meffuage  in  the  corner  of  St.  Aldate'o  Churchyard,  to  St. 
Fridefwyde's  Priory,  before  mentioned  (he  having  before  as  'tis  faid  held  it 
of  them)  conditionally,  that  after  his  death,  the  faid  Priory  fhouid  find  a 
Chaplain,  that  is  a  Canon  of  their  Houle,  that  fhould  celebrate  fervice  yearly 
for  his  foul,  the  fouls  of  his  father  and  mother,  and  for  the  foul  of  Chriftiana 
Pady. 

Thirdly,  that  from  the  faid  Segryms  the  faid  large  Tenement  was  called 
Segrym  Hall,  it  being  inhabited  by  Clerks  in  the  time  of  the  faid  Mr.  Ri- 
chard Segrym,  if  not  before :  which  place,  continuing  by  that  name  till 
about  the  beginning  of  Henry  VI,  came  to  he  called  Broadyates  (from  a  large 
entrance  made  into  it  about  that  time)  and  in  writings  Broadgates,  alias 
Segrym,  (corruptly  afterward  Segreve)  Hall. 

Fourthly,  that  for  the  enlargement  of  the  faid  Hall,  a  certain  tenement 
adjoining  (on  the  eaft  fide  as  it  feems)  which  anciendy  belonged  tO  the 
Monks  of  Abendon  Abbey  (7)  (owners  of  the  other  Moiety  of  St,  Aldate's

(8)  belonged  to  New  College,  and  was  rented  by  the  Principal  of  Broad- 
gates  in  the  reign  of  Hen.  VII  for  6s.  8d,  yearly. 

Fifthly,  that  the  faid  Hall  was  always  for  the  mofb  part  a  nurfery  for  Stu- 
dents in  the  Civil  and  Canon  Law,  as  from  our  Regifters  and  other  (9)  places 
is  apparent. 

Sixthly,  that  among  the  Heads  or  Principals  thereof  (an  imperfed  cata- 
logue of  which  I  have)  I  find  divers  confiderable  perfons,  that  is  to  fay, 
I.  Brian  Hygden,  LL.  B.  Principal,  (10)  in  the  year  1505,  afterward 
Dean  of  York,  and  a  perfon  of  note  in  his  time-,  he  died  5  June  1539,  ^^^ 
was  buried  in  the  Cathedral  of  York.  2.  John  Storie,  LL.  B.  Principal  (i  i) 
in  the  year  1537  ;  of  whom  you  may  fee  more  among  the  Civil  Law  Lec- 
turers, and  in  the  book  of  Adls  and  Monuments  of  the  Church  written  by 
Maftcr  John  Foxe.  3.  Thomas  Yonge,  LL.  Bac.  Principal  (12)  an.  1542  ; 
afterward  Archbifhop  of  York.  He  was  a  Welchman  born,  or  at  leaft  of 
Welch  extraftion  ;  the  fon  of  John  Yong,  the  fon  of  Brian  Yong  of  Pem- 
brokefhire.  He  died  at  Sheffield  in  Yorkfhire,  and  was  buried  in  his  own 
Cathedral,  with  this  Epitaph  afterwards  put  over  his  grave: 

**  Thomas  Yong,  nuper  Eboracenfis  Archiepifcopus,  Civilis  Juris  Doftor  peritifnmus, 
quern  propter  gravitatem,  funimum  ingenium,  eximiam  prudentiam,  excellentemque 
politicarum  fcientiam,  illuftriflima  Regina  feptentrionalibus  hujus  regni  partibus  praefideni

4.  Robert  Weston,  LL.  Bac.  (13)  Principal  (14)  in  the  year  1546,  who 
after  he  had  read  the  Civil  Law  Le(5lure  leveral  years,  became  at  length 
Chancellor  of  Ireland,  and  fo  eminent  in  that  place,  that  the  learned  Cam- 
den, could  not  but  give  him  the  due  of  an  honourable  (15)  mention.  He 
died  the  20th  May  1573,  and  was  buried  in  St.  Patrick's  Church  in  Dublin. 

5.  Thomas  Randolph,  LD.  B.  fucceffor  (16)  to  Mr.  Weflon  in  his  Prin- 
cipality an.  1549  ;  the  charadler  of  whofe  worth  the  faid  learned  perfon  thus 
( 1 7)  recites — "  He  had  been  employed  in  fevera!  embalTies  •,  thrice  to  the  Peers

Seventhly,  that  at  the  difiblution  of  Religious  Houfes,  this  place  of  Broad- 
gates  was  given  (19)  by  K.  Hen.  VIII  to  his  College  in  Oxford  in  the  38th 
year  of  his  reign.  At  which  time  alfo  he  gave  the  faid  houfing  of  Aben- 
don,  containing  then  tour  chambers,  with  th<.'  gro  nd  on  which  they  flood, 
and  other  belonging  to  it,  efteemed  then  to  be  in  length  and  breaath  half  a 
rood  of  land. 

Eighthly,  that  the  faid  Hall  of  Broadgates  was  by  the  name  of  Segrym 
Hall  (20)  valued  to  be  worth  forty  (hillings  in  the  6th  of  Edw.  I,  Dom. 
1278.  Which  value  continuing  fo,  as  it  feems,  for  divers  generations,  was 
rented  (21)  in  the  year  1517  (9  Hen.  VIII)  at  thirty  fhiilings  per  an. 
(John  Noble,  LL.  Bac.  being  then  Prmcipal)  but  if  'twas  kept  in  repara- 
tions by  the  Principal,  then  he  paid  but  20  (hillings  yearly.  Which  rent 
continuing  till  the  dilTolution  of  Religious  houfes  or  thereabouts  fat  what 
time  were  but  few  Scholars  in  the  Univerlity)  it  fell  (22)  to  13  (hillings  and 
fourpence,  and  fo  it  continued  till  the  faid  Hail  was  given  to  Chrift-Church 
by  K.  Hen.  VIII. 

Having  now  done  with  Broadgates  Hall,  I  (hall  fpeak  of  Pembroke 
College,  fituated  near  the  Church,  and  in  the  panlh  of  St.  Aldate-,  of 
the  Foundation  of  which,  Benefactors,  and  other  matters,  I  (hall  deliver 
what  I  have  to  fay,  and  lo  proceed. 

Thomas  Tesdale,  Efq.  departing  this  life  at  Glympton,  near  Wood- 
ftock  in  this  County,  13  June  i6io,  did  by  his  ultimate  (23)  will  and  tefta- 
mentj  dated  the  lad  of  May  the  fame  year,  bequeath  (ive  thoufand  pounds  to

port  of  divers  Fellows  and  Scholars,  to  be  eledled  from  the  Free  Grammar 
School  in  Abendon  into  any  College  within  the  Univerfity  of  Oxford. 
Upon  which  bequefl  Dr.  George  Abbot,  Archbp  of  Canterbury,  and  other 
confiderable  perlons,  together  with  the  chief  men  of  Abendon,  to  whole  truft 
the  execution  of  the  teftaior's  will  was  left,  intended  to  have  joined  with 
Balliol  College  to  make  an  addition  to  :ht  Society  there.  But  that  defign 
taking  not  effeft,  as  it  (hall  be  anon  (hewed,  (notwithdanding  feveral  articles

In  the  mean  time  Sir  Nicholas  Kempe,  and  William  Baker  Efq.  did  with 
the  faid  five  thoufand  pounds  purchafe  certain  lands  and  tenements,  with 
their  appurtenances,  in  Berklhire  and  Wiltfhire,  with  confidence  had  that

which  did  enable  the  College  to  be  endowed  with  feven  hundred  pounds  per 
ann.  the  Mafter,  Fellows  and  Scholars  took  pofleflion  of  the  faid  Hall  of 
Broadgates,  and  lived  therein.  (26)  To  which  about  that  time  was  an  en- 
largement of  building  made  for  their  whole  number. 

Three  years  after  were  Statutes  made,  to  the  end  that  the  members  there- 
of might  be  well  governed,  and  within  the  fpace  of  an  year  following  were 
fubfcribed,  fealed,  and  publilhed,  Dr.  Frewen  of  Magdalen  College  being 
then  Vice-Chancellor.  In  the  faid  Statutes  (27)  I  find  that  four  of  Tes- 
dale's  Fellows  are  to  be  of  his  kindred,  and  all  feven  of  them,  when  Maf 
ters  of  Arts,  to  be  Divines.  As  for  the  fix  Scholars,  who  are  to  receive 
maintenance  alfo from  his  bounty,  are  to  be  (28)  elefted  from  the  Free  fchool 
of  Abendon  in  Berkfhire  :  two  of  which,  to  be  of  the  poorer  kindred  of 
him  the  faid  Tesdale,  from  the  faid  School,  if  fuch  might  be  found:  if 
not,  then  two  of  his  poorer  kindred  from  any  other  School.  The  other  four 
are  to  be  of  the  poorer  natives  of  Abendon,  and  of  the  Scholars  of  William 
Bennet  Efq.  educated  in  the  fame  School  As  for  thofe  of  Richard 
Wightwick,  viz.  three  Fellows  and  four  Scholars  (for  the  maintenance  of 
of  which  he  gave  lands,  to  the  value  of  lool.  per  an.)  two  of  each  were  to  be 
either  of  his  (29)  name  or  confanguinity,  wherefoever  they  were  born  or 
bred,  and  the  other  three  to  be  of  the  Free-School  of  Abendon  :  Who,  to- 
gether with  Tesdale*s  Scholars,  that  are  to  come  from  the  faid  School,  are 
to  be  eledled  thence  on  the  [monday]  after  the  firft  funday  in  Auguft  by

Iwhich,  that  it  was  in  fome  part  fettled  in  the  faid  College  we  all  know  to 
be  true  -,  but  how  it  was  fo  done,  and  by  what  means  all  things  were  not 
finiflied  there  (of  which  many  perhaps  are  ignorant)  you  (hall  hear. 

The  Mayor,  Bailliffs,  and  Burgefles  of  Abendon,  being  appointed  the 
chief  perfons  to  execute  Mr,  Tesd ale's  will,  fo  far  as  it  concerned  Oxford, 
made  certain  terms  with  Balliol  College,  (fuch  that  were  thought  fit  and  al- 
lowed by  George,  Archbifhop  of  Canterbury)  for  the  reception  of  the  faid 
Scholars  :  which  being  done,  though  not  drawn  up,  they  put  300I.  of  Tes- 
DALE*s  money  into  the  bands  of  the  College.  With  which  and  40I  more 
were  purchafed  certain  lodgings  beyond  and  on  the  north  fide  of  the  Col- 
lege (almoft  oppofite  to  the  eaft  end  of  Magdalen  parilh  Church)  called  Cas- 
far's  Lodgings,  with  all  the  houfes  and  appurtenances  adjoining,  to  the  end 
that  they  might  ferve  as  an  habitation  for  the  fix  Scholars  of  Tesd  ale,  as 
they  afterward  for  fome  time  did.  At  length  the  faid  terms  or  articles,  fuch 
as  they  defired,  were  agreed  on  by  the  College,  and  fubfcribed  by  the  Maf- 
ter  and  Fellows  thereof,  (gi) 

But  whilft  thefe  things  were  pending,  the  faid  Mayor,  BaiUiffs  and  Burgh- 
ers of  Abendon,  inftead  of  purfuing  the  intent  of  Tesdale,  which  was  to 
make  his  Fellows  and  Scholars  an  additional  part  of  a  foundation,  conceived 
thoughts  (upon  promife  of  Wightwick's  bounty")  of  founding  a  College  of 
itfelf,  as  is  before  told  you;  which  defign  they  at  length  effedting  by  the 
authority  of  Parliament  then  fitting,  withdrew  themfelves  from  Balliol,  and 
made  the  Hall  of  Broadgates  a  College  :  Which  foundation,  that  they  might 
the  better  ftrengthen  and  make  it  there  immoveable,  made  the  Earl  of 
Pembroke,  then  Chancellor  of  the  Univerfity,the  Godfather  of  it,  and  King 
James  the  Founder,  but  at  the  coftand  charges  of  Tesdale  and  Wight- 
wick,  allowing  them  only  the  privileges  of  fofter-fathers. 

This  Society  of  Pembroke  was  no  fooner  fettled,  but  the  Mafter  and 
Fellows  thereof  brought  the  Mafter  and  Fellows  of  Balliol  College  into 
Chancery  for  the  refunding  of  the  aforefaid  300I,  that  bought  Casfar's 
Lodgings;  but  the  Fellows  for  the  moft  part  inclining  to  demur,  and  the 
rather  becaufe  that  Coventry,  then  Lord  Keeper,  fometime  of  Balliol  Col- 
lege, had  promifed  them  a  gracious  hearing,  it  was  in  the  end  (for  he  was 
not  faithful  to  them)  referred  to  George,  Archbifliop  of  Canterbury,  fome- 
time of  the  faid  College  alfo ;  who  knowing  very  well  that  the  Society  was 
not  able  at  that  time  to  repay  the  faid  fum,  bade  the  Fellows  go  home,  be 
obedient  to  their  Governor,  and  Jehovah  Jireh,  i.  e.  God,  fhall  provide  for 
them.  Whereupon  he  paid  50I.  of  the  faid  300I.  prefently,  and  for  the  other 
250I.  the  College  gave  bond  to  be  paid  yearly  by  leveral  fums,  till  the  full 
was  fatisfied.  The  which  fums  as  they  grew  due,  did  the  faid  Archbifiiop 
likewife  pay ;  fo  that  for  them,  and  an  hundred  pounds  more  upon  ano- 
ther occafion,  the  faid  Society  owe  to  the  bounty  of  that  moft  reverend 
Archprelate.

But  notwithflanding  the  faid  buildings  of  Tesdale  and  Wightwick 
(which  were  made  on  the  fite  of  Broadgates)  the  limits  of  the  College  being 
too  fmall,  and  chambers  too  few,  to  hold  the  number  of  Students,  were  thele 
additions  laid  to  it. 

I.  Cambye's  Lodgings,  fo  called  from  one  Mr.  John  Cambye,  who  (41) 
held  them  of  St.  Fridefwyde's  Priory  an.  15 17,  and  who  alfo  about  that  time 
did  build  them  anew,  to  the  end  that  the  Scholars  of  Broadgates  might  live 
in  them.  After  St.  Fridefwyde^s  Priory,  alias  Cardinal  College,  came  into 
the  hands  of  K.  Henry  VIII,  thefe  Lodgings  were  fold  to  a  lay  perfon.  At 
length,  being  got  (42)  into  the  poffefllon  of  Mr.  George  Summafter,  Prin- 
cipal of  Broadgates,  38  Elizab.  Dom.  1596,  were  by  him  for  the  moft  part 
new  built.  Afterward  coming  into  the  hands  of  Mr.  John  Roufe,  of  Oriel 
College,  from  Dr.  Thomas  Clayton,  were  by  him  fold  (43)  to  the  Mafter  and 
Fellows  of  Pembroke  College,  19  Apr.  1626:  who  repairing,  and  making 
fome  alteration  on  them,  were  appoinced  to  be  the  Lodgings  of  the  Mafter, 
as  they  are  to  this  day,  being  fituated  between  the  Common  Gate  of  the 
College,  that  now  is,  on  the  fouth,  and  the  end  of  Beef  hall  lane  on  the 
north.  Thefe  Lodgings  were  pulled  down  in  the  beginning  of  1695,  and  a 
fair  pile  of  free-ftone  (fuch  as  we  now  fee)  was  built  in  its  place,  with  fome 
encroachment  at  the  north  end  on  Beef  hall  lane ;  the  outfide  of  which 
lodgings  were  finifhed  about  Michaelmas  the  fame  year  ;  [chiefly  at  the  ex- 
penfe  of  John  Hall,  D.  D.  then  Mafter,  and  alfo  Biftiop  of  Briftol.] 

II.  A  Tenement  of  Magdalen  College,  laying  on  the  weft  fide  of  Cam- 
bye's  Lodgings,  anciently  called  Minote  Hall,  now  Summafter's  Lodgings. 
The  reafon,  becaufe  Mr.  Summafter,  beforementioned,  was  the  firft  that 
converted  them  into  Chambers  for  the  Scholars  of  Broadgates.  The  Icafe 
of  which  tenement  being  in  the  hands  of  one  Richard  Evans,  Barber  and 
Innholder,  was  by  him  (44)  conveyed  to  Pembroke  College  an.  1629. 

III.  Another  Tenement  belonging  to  All  Souls  College,  the  leafe  of 
which  was  conveyed  (45)  to  this  Houfe  by  Thomas  Ray  of  New  Woodftock 
an.  1629.  The  faid  tenement  in  ancient  time  was  divided  into  two,  the  one 
called  Durham,  afterward  St.  Michael's  Hall,  and  the  other  St.  James's  Hall, 
both  fituated  between  Minote  Hall,  on  the  eaft,  and  Beef  Hall,  on  the  weft. 
On  the  ground  of  the  firft  of  which  Halls  (namely  Durham)  is  now  the 
common  houfe  of  eafement  for  this  College,  and  on  the  other.  Chambers 
for  the  Students  thereof. 

IV.  A  tenement  called  Beef  Hall,  the  leafe  of  which  being  in  the  hands

V.  A  void  piece  of  ground,  on  the  weft  fide  of  Beef  Hall,  belonging  to 
Magdalen  College,  anciently  called  Wyld's  Entry,  conveyed  (47)  by  the 
fame  perfon  to  this  College  at  the  fame  time  before  mentioned.

on  the  fouth,  and  Wyld  Entry  on  the  north,  having  its  door  or  forefront 
butting  on  that  ftreet  or  lane,  that  leadeth  from  St.  Ebb's  Church  to  Little 
Gate  ;  conveyed  (48)  at  the  fame  time. 

All  which  tenements  and  parcels  of  lands,  except  Cambye's  Lodgings, 
are  fituated  and  do  lay  between  Pembroke  College  and  the  faid  Lodgings  on 
the  eaft,  the  faid  ftreet  that  leadeth  from  St.  Ebbs  to  Littlegate  on  the

Broadgates  (on  part  of  which  the  eaft  fide  of  the  Quadrangle  is  built)  hav- 
ing made  mention  of  them  before,  1  fhall  pafs  forward. 

Hall,  or  Refectory,  which  joins  to  the  entrance  of  the  Common  Gate, 
and  to  Cambye's  Lodgings,  which  are  on  the  north  fide,  was  the  fame  that 
belonged  to  Broadgates  Hall.  Which  being  too  little  to  receive  the  Stu- 
dents, Dr.  Clayton,  [the  firft  Mafter  of  the  College]  built  the  upper  end 
thereof;  by  which  addition  the  faid  Hall  is  made  in  the  fafhion  of  the  letter

Library,  which  [was]  in  the  large  room  over  the  fouth  Aile  joining  to  St.  * 
Aldate's  Church,  was  furnifhed  and  repaired  by  feveral  Benefactors  (having 
been,fome  years  before  the  Grand  Rebellion  broke  out,  partly  employed  for 
Chambers)  among  whom  was  Dr.  Clayton,  the  firft  Mafter,  who  gave  20I, 
for  its  reparation,  and  for  the  fetting  up  of  four  pews  or  repofitories,  befides 
feveral  books,  as  well  printed  as  written.  William  Gardiner,  of  Linton, 
fometime  of  this  Univerfity,  gave  moft  of,  if  not  all,  his  Study  of  books,  at 
the  firft  reparation  or  reftoration  of  the  Library.  Sir  Robert  Hanson  of  Lon- 
don, Knt.  and  Dr.  John  Wall,  fometime  [Student,  and  afterward  Canon 
of  Chrift  Church,  and]  Redor  of  St.  Aldate's  Church,  did  give  divers  others. 
Fr.  Rouse,  beforementioned,  did  alfo  intend  to  give  his  whole  Study,  but 
being  diftuaded  to  the  contrary,  gave  only  his  own  works,  and  fome  few 
others.  This  Library  was  anciently  a  Civil  Law  School,  and  had  divers 
books  therein  of  that  profeflion,  locked  up  in  chefts,  for  the  ufe  of  the  Scho- 
lars of  Broadgates,  and  other  Halls  adjoining,  moftly  converfant  in  the  Ci- 
vil and  Canon  Law  ;  but  when  the  Univerfity  was  in  a  manner  left  defolate, 
in  the  reign  of  K.  Edw.  VI,  the  faid  School  went  to  ruin,  and  the  books 
were  loft.

Thomas  Tesdale  was  Ton  of  Thomas  Tefdale  of  Fitzharrls  Farme  in 
the  town  of  Sandford,  called  alfo  Stanford-Dingley,  Berks,  who  dying 
in  Decemb.  an.  1556,  he,  the  faid  Thomas,  being  then  about  9  years  of 
age,  was  brought  up  by  his  Uncle,  Richard  Tefdale  of  Abendon, 
Sadler;  and  when  the  Free-School  there  was  founded  by  John  Royce, 
Citizen  and  Mercer  of  London,  an.  1563,  he  was  admitted  into  the 
School  by  the  Founder,  aged  16,  or  thereabouts.  Soon  after  he  mar- 
ried Maud,  daughter  of  Edvv.  Little  of  Abendon,  and  trading  in  mak- 
ing of  malt,  he  was  in  a  fair  way  of  getting  an  eftate,  fo  that  in  an. 
1569,  being  then  about  23  years  of  age,  he  was  chofen  one  of  the 
Common  Council  of  that  Borough.  In  an.  1571,  he  was  ele<fled  one 
of  the  Baillives,  and  again  in  1574.  Three  years  after  (1577)  ^^  was 
chofen  Governour  of  the  Hofpital  at  Abendon,  Mafter  of  the  fame 
1579,  Principal  Burgefs  of  Abendon  1580,  and  the  year  following 
Mayor. 

But  being  delighted  in  a  country  life,  freed  himfelf  from  ferving  in  the 
office  of  Mayor  again,  by  paying  a  fine  to  the  Corporation.  He  fettled 
afterwards  at  Glympton,  before  mentioned,  where  he  traded  in  wool, 
tillage  and  grafing,  and  at  length  attained  to  a  very  great  eftate.  Moft 
of  the  time  that  he  lived  there,  he  maintained  at  his  own  charge  a  Lec- 
ture every  Sunday  in  the  Church.  He  was  very  liberal  to  the  poor, 
and  his  houfe  was  never  fhut  againft  them.  He  gave  to  the  Hof- 
pital of  Chrift  in  Abendon,  for  the  perpetual  maintenance  of  an  Ufher 
in  the  Free-School  at  Abendon,  all  his  glebe  lands,  being  parcel  of

ON  the  weft  fide  of  Stocwell-ftreet,  in  the  parifh  of  St.  Nicholas,  alias 
St.  Thomas  the  Martyr,  in  the  fuburbs  of  Oxford,  was  ftanding,  and 
is  [partly]  ftill,  an  ancient  houfe  of  learning  called  Gloucester  College, 
[afterward]  Gloucester  Hall,  begun  at  firft  to  be  built  by,  and  for  the 
Monks  of  Gloucefter,  of  the  Order  of  St.  Bennet ;  to  the  end  that  their 
Novices  might  be  educated  in  academical  literature  i  afterwards  continued 
and  enlarged  by  feveral  other  religious  places  of  the  fame  order,  and  for  the 
fame  purpofe  alfo.  At  the  difTolution  of  it  (among  other  Colleges  and  Mo- 
nafteries)  it  came  into  the  hands  of  K.  Hen.  VIII  •,  who  retaining  it  till  the 
34th  year  of  his  reign,  at  what  time  he  ereded  the  Bifhopric  of  Oxford,  he 
(i)  granted  it  to  Di*.  Robert  Kyng,  the  firfl  Bifliop,  for  an  habitation  or  pa- 
lace for  him  and  kis  fucceflbrs ;  with  a  provifo,  that  the  laid  grant  fhould  not 
be  prejudicial  to  the  Chancellor  and  Scholars  of  the  Univerfity  of  Oxford, 
nor  any  Head  of  Houfe,  nor  their  fucceffors,  in  any  refpeft  whatfoever,  but 
that  they  may  enjoy  all  privileges,  jurifdiclions,  exemptions,  franchifes,  and 
all  other  rights  and  commodities  whatfoever. 

The  College  therefore  continued  for  the  Bifhop's  ufe  all  the  time  that  his 
iSee  was  at  Ofney,  and  when  the  King  tranflated  it  to  his  College  within  the 
City  wall  (commonly  then  called  Cardinal  Collge)  he  granted  (2)  it  alfo  again 
thereunto  with  other  revenues,  4  Nov.  28  reg.  yet  before  that  foundation 
or  tranflation  could  be  completed  or  perfedled,  the  King  died.

indenture.  In  which  endowment  Gloucester  College  is  left  out,  as  not 
parcel  of  the  poflefTions. 

This  College  therefore  remaining  in  the  Crown  till  2  Jan.  2  Eliz.  the 
Queen  then  (5)  granted  it,  inter  alia,  to  one  William  Doddington  in  fee,  ex- 
tending them  to  the  yearly  value  of  45  s. 

The  23d  of  March  following,  which  was  in  an.  1559,  the  faid  Dodding- 
ton pafTed  the  faid  College  to  the  Prefident  and  Scholars  of  St.  John  Bap- 
tst's  College  in  Oxford  for  a  fum  of  money  paid  by  Sir  Thomas  Whyte, 
the  Founder.  So  that  it  being  in  the  pofleflion  of  the  faid  College,  the  faid 
Sir  Thomas  did  for  the  better  advancement  of  learning,  convert  it  into  an 
Hall  for  Academical  Students,  by  the  name  of  The  Principal  and  Scho- 
lars OF  St.  John  Baptist's  Hall  &c.  appointing  then  that  the  govern- 
ment thereof  fhould  belong  to  one  of  the  Fellows  of  his  College,  fuccefiive- 
ly,  to  be  eledted  thereunto  by  the  Society,  and  admitted  by  the  Chancellor, 
or  his  Deputy,  of  the  Univerfity. 

For  fome  years  it  did  continue  fo,  but  the  patronage  thereof  with  other 
Halls  being  pafled  away  to  Robert  Dudley,  Earl  of  Leicefter,  Chancellor  of 
the  Univerfity,  and  his  fucceflbrs  in  that  ofiice  for  ever,  they  have  heftowed 
it  upon  other  Academians,  and  fo  it  continues  to  this  day. 

About  the  fame  time  that  it  was  purchafed,  Sir  Thomas  Whyte  made 
great  reparations  upon  it,  and  foon  after  fettled  therein  a  Principal  and  an 
hundred  Scholars  or  more,  fome  living  upon  their  own  charges,  but  moft 
by  his  benefadion.  Which  Principal  and  Scholars  (6)  took  their  firft  com- 
mons in  the  public  Refe6tory  (formerly  bclorlging  to  the  Monks)  on  the 
day  of  St.  John  Baptift,  an.  1560.  '

as  they  were  before  its  difTolution  by  K.  Hen.  VIII,  except  the  Chapel,  and 
Library,  with  Chambers  under  it:  which  were  pulled  down  in  the  reign  of 
Edw.  VI,  by  Sir  John  (afterwards  Lord)  Wyilyams,  Kt.  by  virtue  of  a  man- 
date procured  by  him  of  the  King  for  that  purpofe.  The  reft  of  the  build- 
ings that  are  ftanding,  were  formerly  divided  into  feveral  parts,  each  part 
being  built  by  one  Monaftery  of  the  Order  of  St.  Bennet,  wherein  their 
Novices  might  be  received  and  lodged,  as  I  fliall  further  tell  you  in  my  book

After  this  College  came  intothe  hands  of  Sir  Thomas  Whyte,  he  repaired 
its  buildings  ;  but  fome  of  them  falling  to  ruin  foon  after.  Sir  George 
Peckham,  Kt.  a  Student  fometime  of  this  Hall,  gave  about  lool.  towards 
their  reparations  an.  1573  j  and  William  Gent  another  hundred  pound; 
befides  others  that  gave  fmaller  gifts. 

Furthermore,  leall  the  Students  (hould  be  deftitute  of  a  place  wherein 
they  might  celebrate  divine  fervice.  Dr.  Hawley,  the  Principal,  obtained 
contributions  from  St.  John's  (22}  College,  divers  that  had  been  formerly 
of  this  Hall,  and  from  thofe  that  were  then  in  his  time,  for  the  erecftion  of 
one:  which  being  therefore  begun,  an.  1609,  over  the  entrance  into  the 
Refediory  (at  the  north  end  of  which  the  old  Chapel  fometime  flood)  Mr. 
"Whear,  his  fucceflbr,  completely  finiftied  it>  and  fet  up  a  little  Library  at 
the  weft  end  thereof  by  the  contributions  of  divers  that  had  been  of  the 
Houfe  ;  but  the  books  thereof,  though  kept  in  a  large  prefs,  have  been 
thieved  away  for  the  moft  part,  and  are  now  dwindled  to  an  inconfiderable 
nothing. 

[The  firft  Buildings  begun  to  be  erected,  after  this  Hall  received  Incorpo*- 
ration,  and  became  a  College,  were  the  Chapel,  Hall  and  Library,  June  8,. 
1720,  by  means  of  Mrs.  Margaret  Alcorne's  Benefa6bion,  amounting 
to  feven  hundred,  ninety  eight  pounds  and  three  pence,  according  to  a  de-

year,  Edward  Cooke  of  Highnam  near  Gloucefter,  Efq.  prefented  the  So- 
ciety the  like  fum,  for  the  fame  purpofe. 

In  1753,  part  of  the  old  Building  on  the  north  fide  Wiis  pulled  down,  and 
a  new  wing  begun,  by  Dr.  Clarke's  Truftees,  containing  nine  fcts  of 
Rooms,  for  the  reception  of  his  Fellows  and  Scholars.  They  were  finifhed 
about  the  year  1759,  when  his  eftablifhment  took  place. 

The  remainder  of  the  old  Building  on  the  north  fide  being  taken  down,  the 
new  wing  was  extended  weftward  by  Mrs.  Eaton's  Truftees,  and  twelve 
fets  of  Apartments  added  for  the  accommodation  of  her  Fellows  and  Scho- 
lars. They  were  begun  in  1773,  when  her  endowment  took  place,  and  were 
completed  in  1776. 

At  the  weft  end  of  this  wing,  new  Lodgings  were  ereded  for  the  Provoft,

BENEFACTORS. 

BiGNELL,  Knt.  gave  certain  lands  to  the  Abbey  of  Glaflonbury, 

conditionally  that  the  Abbot  thereof  fltould  pay  an  yearly  Exhibition  to  ten 
Scholars  of  this  Hall,  &c.  The  time  when  this  gift  was  made,  I  find  not ; 
yet  fure  I  am,  firft,  that  the  faid  Bignell,  that  beftowed  it,  (to  arife  from  what 
lands  I  know  nor,  unlefs  from  fome  at  Drayton  in  Somerfetfhire)  [ordered  it] 
to  be  paid  to  the  Scholars  that  were  bred  in  the  Grammar  School  at  Glaf- 
ftonbury  Abbey,  who,  as  'tis  probable,  were  to  return  to  that  place  again, 
and  according  to  their  deferts  be  there  preferred.  2.  That,  when  Richard 
Whyting,  the  laft  Abbat,  was  convift  of  Treafon,  and  his  abbey  furren- 
dered  by  the  Monks,  the  Univerfity  of  Oxford,  in  a  (lo)  letter  to  Lord  Tho- 
mas Cromwell,  dat.  23  Jan.  (1539-40)  intreat  him  to  be  good  to  them,  and 
that  he  would  be  pleafed  to  fee  that  the  five  marks  per  an.  for  the  Exhibi- 
tion of  ten  Scholars  of  Hert  Hall  (amounting  to  32I.  13s.  4d.  per  an.  for 
each  Exhibitioner  ufed  to  receive  five  marks  yearly)  given  by  one  Bignell,  a 
Knt.  (who  left  lands  for  the  payment  thereof  in  the  Abbot  of  Glaflenbury's 
hands)  fhould  not  be  loft,  or  taken  from  them.  3.  That  after  the  diffolu- 
tion  of  that  Abbey,  the  faid  Exhibition  was  paid  (11)  out  of  the  Exchequer 
by  K.  Hen.  VIII,  K.  Edw.  VI,  Q.  Mary,  and  Q.  Elizab  :  the  laft  of  which 
felling  the  faid  revenue  about  the  beginning  of  her  reign  to  William,  Mar-

paid  for  divers  years  :  Wherefore  the  Univerfity  taking  cognizance  of  that 
negle(5l,  fenc  to  their  Chancellor,  the  Earl  of  Leicefter,  to  be  helping  to 
them  in  the  matter.  He  therefore^  fending  letters  to  them  in  1578,  ad- 
vifeth  them  to  fend  fome  difcreet  men  to  the  Marquifs  of  Winchefter  to 
give  him  an  underftanding  of  the  matter.  5.  The  next  year  they  (12)  fent 
letters  by  Mr.  William  Standifh,  their  Regiilrary,  to  the  Chancellor,  in  re- 
ference to  the  faid  Exhibition,  but  what  the  end  of  the  matter  was,  I  find 
not,  only  by  circumftance  that  half  of  the  faid  Exhibition  amounting  to 
about  1 61.  13s.  4d.  per  an.  was  begged  (as  I  have  heard)  of  Qu.  Elizab.  by 
Sir  Walt.  Mildmay,  Knt.  Chancellor  and  Treafurer  of  the  Exchequer,  and 
by  her  fettled  on  his  College,  called  Emanuel  College,  in  Cambridge,  iffu- 
ing  then,  as  I  conceive,  from  certain  of  the  fee-farm  rents  of  Somerfetfhire ;. 
fo  that  the  other  half  being  not  paid  alfo,  may  be  the  caufe  (as  I  conceive) 

why  Mr.  Twyne,  our  Antiquary,  fhould  thus  (13)  complain,  an.  1608 

'  Et  Aula  Cervina,  vulgo  Herthall,  olim  Monafterii  Glafconienfis  colonia,

bata  fuperiorum  paulo  temporum  iniquitatem  depiorat.'  6.  That  in  an  in- 
denture, dated  23  March  1651,  between  a  certain  Committee  of  Parliament 
then  fitting,  on  the  one  part,  and  John  Gutch  and  Hen.  Mabfon  of  Glafton- 
bury  on  the  other,  it  appears  that  part  of  the  Fee-farm  rent  of  Somerfet- 
fhire, together  with  the  Exhibition  of  16I.  13s.  4d.  to  be  paid  to  five  poor 
Scholars  in  this  Hall,  each  to  have  3I.  6s.  8d.  apiece  per  an.  was  then  fold  to 
the  faid  John  and  Henry  for  a  confiderable  fum  of  money.  7.  That  in  the 
year  1653  ^  certain  perfon  making  learch  after  fome  matters  of  his  own  con- 
cern in  the  Pipe  Office  at  London,  found  a  record  of  this  Exhibition  -,  where- 
fore, telling  a  friend  of  his  (that  had  a  fon  to  go  to  Oxford)  of  this  matter, 
had  a  copy  taken  out  thence,  which  he  communicating  to  Dr.  Stephens, 
then  Principal  of  this  Houfe,  altogether  ignorant  of  this  Exhibition,  called 
Gutch  to  an  account  of  the  faid  money,  wherefore  being  not  able  to  deny 
it,  paid  the  faid  Turn  of  16I.  13s.  4d.  from  our  Lady  day  1654,  to  the  faid 
feall  1659.  Soon  after  the  faid  rents  being  realTumed  at  the  King's  rcftora-

644  HERTFORD      COLLEGE. 

[Towards  completing  Dr.  Newton's  eftablKhments,  the  progrefs  hitherto 
has  been  but  (low  ;  fome  advance  however  has  been  made. 

Richard  Rawlinson,  D.  C.  L.  fometime  a  Member  of  St.  John's  Col- 
lege, who  died  in  1755,  left  his  Copyhold  and  Freehold  Eftateat  Fulham  in 
Middlefex,  to  this  College,  towards  conftituting  a  Salary  for  the  Principal : 
which  eftate  is  at  the  prefent  time  let  to  Mr.  Webb,  at  the  yearly  rent  of 
twenty  eight  pounds. 

David  Durell,  D.  D.  Principal,  who  died  in  1775,  left  twenty  pounds 
a  year,  arifing  from  money  by  him  lent  for  the  building  the  Oxford  Mar- 
ket :  one  half  of  which  fum  is  given,  to  the  Principal  •,  the  other,  to  the  two 
Senior  Fellows.  If  there  be  but  one  Senior  Fellow,  then,  two  thirds  to  the 
Principal,  and  the  remaining  third  to  the  Fellow  ;  for  Commons. 

The  Rev.  William  Rogers,  of  Warwick,  made  an  endowment  for 
one  of  the  Studentlhips  :  the  Student  muft  come  from  Hampton  Lucy  School 
in  Warwickfhire.  This  Studentfl^iip  is  now  enjoyed  by  a  young  man  from 
thence. 

Sir  John  Thorold,  of  Cranwell,  near  Sleaford,  Lincolnshire,  Bart,  having 
had  a  thoufand  pounds  Stock  in  the  old  South  Sea  Houfe,  from  a  Lady  who 
defired  to  be  unknown,  to  difpole  of  as  he  fhould  think  well,  in  the  year 
1775,  left  the  fame,  yielding  thirty  pounds  per  annum,  towards  the  endow- 
ments of  the  College.  Two  young  men,  as  Students,  at  prefent  enjoy  this. 

Such  at  prefent  is  the  ftate  of  the  endowments,  anno  1786.  By  which  it 
appears  that  a  great  deal  is  yet  wanting  to  complete  the  eftablifhments  pro- 
pofed.]

BUILDINGS. 

AS  for  the  Buildings  that  now  ftand,  were  erefled  by  thefe  perfons  fol- 
lowing ;  that  is  to  lay,  the  Refedory  by  Mr.  Philip  Rondell,  the  wealthy 
Principal,  about  the  beginning  of  Qu.  Elizabeth.  The  Buttery,  and  Cham- 
bers over  it,  at  the  eaft  end  of  the  laid  Refedory,  and  the  Chambers  on  the 
fouth  fide  of  the  Buttery,  with  the  common  Kitchen  under  them,  were  alfo 
repaired  and  enlarged  (if  not  totally  ereded)  by  the  faid  perfon. 

The  Principal's  Lodgings,  joining  to  the  faid  Kitchen  and  Chambers  on 
the  fouth  fide,  were  ereded  about  the  middle  of  K.  James  by  Dr.  Theod. 
Price,  Principal,  expending  in  the  faid  work  above  iSol.  The  Kitchen  and 
Chambers  over  it,  at  the  weft  end  of  the  Refedory,  were  built  by  Dr.  Iles, 
Principal,  which  being  done,  he  took  the  old  Kitchen  for  his  own  ufe  and  fuc- 
cefTors.  The  Lodgings  joining  to  the  gate,  over  againft  the  forefront  of  the 
public  Schools  in  Catftreet,  were  alfo  built  by  the  laid  Principal,  ail  which 
coft  him  300I.  and  upward. 

As  for  the  old  and  decrepid  building  called  Blackhall,  (pulled  down

fity  1544,  and  again  by  Principal  Rondell  in  the  time  of  Q^ Elizabeth. 

The  other  Buildings,  {landing  at  the  fouth  end  of  the  court,  and  thofe 
on  the  north  fide,  as  alfo  the  paper  buildings  (landing  on  wooden  pillars, 
ereded  on  the  back  part  of  Black  hall  an.  1669,  were  built  by  inhabitants 
of  the  City,  to  no  other  end  but  to  rent  them  out  to  Scholars,  after  the 
Chambers  belonging  to  the  Hall  are  fupplied. 

In  a  window  of  the  Refedlory  were  thefe  Arms  :

Bor'n  by  Ducket  ;  and  I  think  'twas  bor'n  by  Sir  Lionel  Duck.et,  Lord 
Mayor  of  London,  an.  1572. 

[The  College,  according  to  Dr.  Newton's  defign,  is  to  be  built  in  the 
form  of  a  Quadraiigle  :  confiding  of  four  Angles,  as  lodgings  for  the  Mem- 
bers ;  and  four  intermediate  Buildings,  viz.  a  Chapel,  Refedory,  Library, 
and  a  Houfe  for  the  Principal. 

The  Gatehoufe,  with  the  prefent  Library  over  it,  was  built  in  the  time  of 
William  Thornton,  Principal,  in  1688. 

John  Cale,  Efq.  of  Ead  Barming  in  Kent,  in  the  year  1777,  left  his  va- 
luable Library  of  Books  to  this  College,  and  therewith  one  thoufand  pounds 
Ead  India  Annuities :  the  intered  of  this  fum,  viz.  thirty  pounds  per  an- 
num as  the  Stipend  for  a  Librarian,  who  mud  be  a  Mader  of  Arts  of  the 
College. 

The  Chapel,  confecrated  Nov.  25,  1716,  on  St,  Catherine's  day,  and  one 
Angle,  Dr.  Newton  built  •,  but  the  red  remains  all  to  be  done  by  future 
Benefad:ors.]

COLLEGES. 


lESIDES  the  Colleges,  that  have  been  already  mentioned,  have  been 
thefe  following,  within  the  precin(fls  of  the  Univerfity  of  Oxford. 

I.  A  College  founded  by  Henry  de  Lacy,  Earl  of  Lincoln,  about  the 
latter  end  of  Edw.  I;  [1305]  but  in  what  parirti  I  find  not  as  yet.  All  the 
mention  that  occurs  of  it  is  in  the  letters  patents  (i)  of  Edw.  II,  dated  at 
Berkhamfted  i  Nov.  an.  reg.  I,  Dom.  1307.  In  which  letters 'tis  faid,  that 
whereas  the  faid  Earl  had  obtained  licenfe  (2)  of  Edward  I,  dat.  22  July, 
reg.  34,  to  give  and  aflign  the  advowfon  of  the  churches  of  Waddyngton, 
"Wyvelingham,  Thorefby,  and  Halton  upon  Trent  in  Lincolnfhire,  and  alfo 
of  Buckley  in  Northamptonfhire,  to  thirteen  Scholars,  in  a  certain  Houfe  in 
the  Univerfity  of  Oxford,  to  be  by  him  new  built ;  licenfe  was  then  granted 
to  him  by  the  faid  K.  Edw.  II,  that  inftead  of  the  advowfon  of  Wyveling- 
ham, he  might  give  to  the  faid  Scholars  the  advowfon  of  the  church  of  Wa- 
denham  in  the  faid  county  of  Northampton.  (3)  Certainly  this  College  was 
fettled  by  the  faid  Earl,  or  elfe  inftead  of  it  became  a  Benefador  to  the  Uni- 
verfity i  for  that  his  anniverfary  was  folemnly  obferved  every  year  by  the 
Academians  on  the  17  Dec.  is  evident  from  our  books.  (4) 

II.  A  College  in  the  Caftle,  called  St.  George's  College,  (5)  founded 
within  few  years  after  the  Conqueft  by  Robert  D'Oilly,  the  firft  of  that 
name  in  England,  for  a  Prior  or  Dean,  and  divers  fecular  Canons.  But  they 
being  afterward  tranflated  to  Ofney,  and  then  made  Regular,  this  College 
came  to  be  inhabited  for  the  moft  part  by  fecular  Scholars  of  the  Univerfity, 
known  and  written  by  the  name  of  "The  Warden  and  Scholars  of  the 
College  of  S.  George  in  the  Castle  of  Oxford,  &c.  The  Statutes  of

III.  Another,  in  the  north  Suburbs  of  Oxford,  called  Durham  College, 
built  (6)  by  the  Prior  and  Monks  of  Durham,  an.  1290.  Which  College, 
though  they  appointed  it  chiefly  to  be  a  nurfery  for  Novices  of  that  Priory,  of 
the  order  of  St.  Benedi6t,  yet  were  divers  fecular  Scholars  mixed  with  them.

IV.  A  fourth,  in  S.  Aldate's  parifh,  called  London  College,  from  one 
Richard  Clifford,  Bifhop  of  London,  who  dying  142 1,  left  (7)  a  thoufand 
marks  to  his  poor  Scholars,  as  well  to  thofe  that  were  prefent  or  to  come, 
living  or  to  live  in  his  Inn,  called  BurneU's  Inn.  See  more  among  the 
Schools,  in  that  called  the  Jews*  School.  [See  alfo  before  in  Chrift  Church 
College,  p.  420.] 

V.  A  College  of  White  Monks  or  Canons,  to  be  founded  by  the  executors 
of  Sir  Peter  Besils  of  Befils-Lee  in  Berkfhire,  Knight;  for  he  dying  an. 
1424,  left  to  them  in  his  will  all  his  tenements,  lands,  reverfions,  &c;  in 
Oxford  for  that  purpofe.  Whether  they  performed  his  will  in  that  particu- 
lar I  know  not. 

VI.  A  College,  in  the  north  Suburbs,  called  Glocester  College,  firft 
founded  (8)  by  John  Giffard,  Baron  of  Brimsfield,  an.  1283  ;  which  be-

S.  Marie  Magdalen,  (10)  founded  by  Henry  Chichele,  Archbifhop  of 
Canterbury,  an.  1437,  ^^^  ^^^  training  up  of  the  Novices  of  the  Ciftertian 
order  in  England  in  Academical  literature.  [See  before  in  St.  John  Baptift

Nnnn2  HALLS. 


HALLS. 

OF  the  great  number  of  Halls  and  Hoftles,  that  have  been  in  this  Uni- 
verfity,  are  now  but  thefe  following  remaining,  that  are  inhabited  by 
Scholars  under  the  government  of  Principals,  viz. 

ST.  ALBANS'  HALL  belonging  to  MERTON  COLLEGE. 

EDMUND  HALL  QUEEN'S  COLLEGE. 

ST.  MARY  HALL ORIEL  COLLEGE. 

NEW  INN  HALL  NEW  COLLEGE. 

ST.  MARY  MAGDAL.  HALL.   -—.  MAGDALEN  COLLEGE. 

All  which,  except  the  laft,  have  anciently  been  no  other  at  firft  than  Te- 
nements, belonging  to  .lay-people,  who  demifing  them  to  Scholars,  have 
fjnce  been  inhabited  by  them.  And  certainly,  had  not  the  faid  Halls  come 
into  the  hands  of  the  Colleges,  before  mentioned,  (the  Fellows  of  which  did 
for  the  moil  part  fucceffively  prefide  in  them)  they  would  have  decayed  as 
other  Halls  did  in  the  reign  of  Hen.  VII  and  VIII. 

The  ancient  name  of  an  Houfe,  or  place  inhabited  by  Clerks  of  Oxford, 
is  Hpfpitium,  an  Inn,  inhabited  fometimes  by  lay,  as  well  as  clerical  perfons. 
Afterwards  it  came  more  vulgarly  to  be  called  Aula,  i.  e.  an  Hall,  as  a  Col- 
lege formerly  was,  (namely  Merton  Hall,  Balliol  Hall,  Oriel  Hall,  &c.) 
Both  which  names,  being  mentioned  in  the  Conflitution  (i)  of  Thorn.  Arun- 
del, Archbifhop  of  Canterbury,  wherein  caution  is  taken,  that  none  of  Wy- 
cleve's  books  or  treatifes  fhould  at  any  time  be  read  '  in  Scholis,  Aulis,  Hof^ 
pitiis,  five  aliis  locis  quibufcunque  in  Univerfitate  Oxon.  &c.'  are  commented 
upon  (2)  by  Linwode  thus — "  Aulis,  id  eft,  habitaculis  Scholarium  in  Uni- 
yerfitatibus :  Hofpitiis,  quae  proprie  funt  Scholarium,  fed  domus  Burgenfium 
fecundum  Januenfem  :  e,t  de  hujufraodi  Hofpitiis  fit  mentio  extra :  de  locato 
et  condudo.  C.  i.  et  Aula  et  Hofpitium  in  hoc  loco  fupponunt  pro  eifdem. 
Aliis  locis  :  quas  foil,  aliis  vocabulis  nuncupantur,  ut  puta,  Cameris,  Introi- 
tibus  ;  et  hujufmodi.'*  Thus  Linwode  j  who  alfo  makes  further  mention  of 
thefe  matters  in  his  comments  on  the  Confl:itution  de  Hereticis,  which  I 
Ihall  now  let  pafs. 

The  word  Aula,  or  Hala,  is  (3)  faid  by  J.  Becanus  Goropius,  to  be  de- 
rived from  a  German  word  All  or  Hall,  which  fignifies  a  place  to  keep  any 
thing  in,  or  a  ftore-houfe.  Which  derivation,  though  I  cannot  altogether  al- 
low, becaufe  it  hath  its  original  from  the  Greek,  yet  it  doth  not  difpleafe

me,  in  regard  that  our  Halls  have  been  places  to  keep  wares  in,  as  well  as 
men  themfelves,  not  that  Oxford  hath  been  a  Staple  Town  (being  not  at  all 
mentioned  fo  to  be  among  thofe  Staple  Towns  in  an  adl  of  parliament  28 
Edw.  II)  but  a  place  of  much  trading  through  the  great  concourfc  of  Scho- 
lars thereto.  But  of  this  matter  I  Ihall  fpeak  no  more,  having  faid  enou^^h 
in  my  Latin  Copy,  but  more  in  the  Antiquity  of  the  City  of  Oxford.  All 
that  I  fhall  obferve  of  thefe  Halls  now,  is 

I.  That  the  Governors  or  Principals  of  them  (as  alfo  anciently  of  all  Halls, 
Entries,  Chambers,  &c.  in  the  Univerfity)  have  been  chofen  by  the  majority 
of  fufFrages  from  the  Students  of  the  faid  Halls,  and  admitted  by  the  Chan- 
cellor or  his  deputy,  with  d:aution  firfl:  given  in,  that  they  pay  the  rent  due  to 
the  Lords  of  them.  But  fince,  much  about  the  year  1570,  Robert  Dudley, 
Earl  of  Leicefter,  Chancellor  of  the  Univerfity,  procuring,  through  the  ab-, 
folute  potency  he  had,  the  nomination  of  the  Principals  of  all  thofe  then 
remaining,  Broadgates  being  then  one,  except  Edmund  Hall  (Qiieen's  Col- 
lege, the  proprietaries  thereof,  then  denying  their  right  as  to  the  nomination 
or  eledion  of  the  Principal  thereof)  to  be  fettled  on  him,  and  his  fucceflbrs 
in  the  Chancellorfhip  of  the  Univerfity  of  Oxford,  hath  ever  fince  remained 
fo,  and  are  to  this  day  nominated  by  them,  and  admitted  by  his  Deputy. 

II.  That  the  Principals  and  Scholars  of  the  faid  Halls  are  governed  by 
Statutes  (commonly  called  Aulary  Statutes)  made  and  given  by  the  Chan- 
cellor and  Scholars  of  the  Univerfity  in  old  time,  but  fince,  in  divers  ages 
have  been  reformed  and  much  altered. 

III.  That  by  the  faid  Statutes,  the  faid  Principals  and  Scholars  are  bound 
to  celebrate  fervice  in  their  refpeftive  parifli  Churches  every  furplice  day, 
viz.  the  Principal  and  Scholars  of  St.  Albans*  Hall  in  the  Collegiate  parifli 
Church  of  St.  John  Baptift,  Merton  :  Edmund,  and  Magdalen  Hall,  in  the 
Church  of  St.  Peter's  in  the  eaft  •,  St.  Mary's  Hall  in  St.  Mary's  Church  j 
and  New  Inn  in  St.  Peter's  in  the  Bailey. 

IV.  That  the  faid  Halls  are  not  endowed,  neither  do  their  Students  re- 
ceive any  fettled  allowance  from  them,  only  Ibme,  where  Exhibitions  are 
founded.  Every  perfon  in  them  that  wears  a  gown,  lives  either  upon  his 
own  eftate,  or  curtefy  of  friends  (or  otherwife,  if  Servitors)  and  have  not  fo 
much  as  chamber-room  allowed  them,  but  what  they  pay  for  10  the 
Principal. 

V.  That  the  faid  Halls  have  educated  many  worthy  perfons  in  Church  and 
State,  the  names  of  whom  I  fliould  in  their  refpeflive  places  inferr,  but  re- 
cord being  deficient  (httle  or  no  memory  of  them  being  preferved)  I  mufl 
Hand  filent.

I.       ST,      ALBANS'      HALL. 

TH  E  anclentcft  Hall,  that  is  now  in  being,  and  inhabited  by  Scholars 
of  the  Univerfiry  under  the  government  of  a  Principal,  is  that  in  St. 
John  Baptilt's'parifh,  called  St.  Albans' Hall,  fituated  on  the  eaft  fide  of 
Merton  College.  The  reafon  of  it^  name,  all  writers  hitherto  have  attri- 
buted to  the  Abbey  of  St.  Alban  •,  as  if  the  Monks  thereof  had  formerly 
built  or  inflituted  it  for  their  Novices  to  be  trained  up  therein;  when  as  it 
very  well  appears,  that  the  faid  Monks  had  nothing  to  do  with,  or  challenge, 
it  for  their  ufe,  having  had  a  manfion  elfcwhere  in  Oxford,  as  I  [have  be- 
fore fliewn.] 

This  place  being  no  other  anciently  than  a  Tenement,  or  Mefluage,  be- 
longing to  a  Burgher  of  Oxford,  named  Robertus  de  Sando  Aloano,  who 
lived  in  K.  John's  time,  and  after,  was  by  the  name  of  his  tenement,  with 
another  on  the  weft  fide  thereof  (called  afterward  Nunne  Hall)(i)  given  by 
him  to  the  Nuns  of  Littlemore,  near,  and  in  the  county  of,  Oxford,  about 
the  beginning  of  the  reign  of  K.  Hen.  III.  (as  he  about  the  fame  time  had 
given  (2)  to  the  Nuns  of  Stodeley  in  the  faid  county  his  eight  tenements  in 
St.  Aldate's  parifh  in  Oxford)  both  which  tenements  being  afterwards  pof- 
fefled  by  Clerks,  were  called,  the  one,  St.  Albans'  Hall,  the  other,  Nunne  Hall; 
the  firft  (3)  occurring  by  that  name  about  the  latter  end  of  Edw.  I,  Dom. 
1305,  and  the  other  (4)  about  the  foundation  of  Merton  College,  at  what 
time  it  was  by  the  Members  thereof  appointed  to  educate  the  kindred  of 
their  Founder  in  Trivialls  and  other  learning,  they  having  then  a  leafe  let 
to  them  by  the  faid  Nuns. 

'  For  feveral' years  both  Halls  flourifhed  (efpecially  the  laft)  under  diftinfl 
Principals,  till  the  beginning  of  the  reign  of  Hen.  VI,  and  then  in  the  third 
year  of  that  King's  reign  or  thereabouts,  when  the  Collegiate  Church  of  St. 
John  Baptift  was  rebuilt,  and  thereupon  a  furvey  of  the  parifh  belonging 
thereunto  was  taken,  I  (5)  find  that  Nunn  Hall  (AulaMonalium,  foit  is  ftiled) 
was  united  with  St.  Albans'  Hall,  denoting  to  us,  that  the  Scholars  belong- 
ing to  them  lived  under  one  and  the  fame  Principal  and  difcipline. 

Whether  it  continued  united  always-after,  I  am  in  doubt,  forafmuch  as 
from  the  year  1445  ^^  ^^e  reign  of  Edw.  IV,  I  find  (5*)  them  under  feveral 
Principals.   But  yet  howfoever  it  was,  Merton  College  had  long  leafes  of  them

from  Littlemore  Nunnery  in  the  reign  of  Hen.  VI,  and  before,  appointing 
one  or  two  of  their  Fellows,  with  the  confent  of  the  Univerfity,  lo  be  fuc- 
cefTively  Principals  of  them.  One  (7)  dimiffion,  which  I  have  feen,  dated 
2  Edw.  IV.  Dom.  1462,  tells  me,  that  Chriftina,  Priorefs  of  Littlemore,  de- 
mifed  to  the  Warden  and  Scholars  of  Mcrcon  College,  two  Halls,  one  called 
Albon  Hall,  and  another  Noone  Hall  for  the  term  of  99  years,  together 
with  two  gardens  belonging  to  them,  extending  from  the  faid  Halls  on  the 
north  fide,  to  the  Town  Wall  almoft,  on  the  fouth.  Another  alio  I  (8)  find, 
dated  15  Dec.  12  Hen.  Vll.  Dom.  1496,  whereby  the  faid  Nunnery  demif- 
ed  to  the  faid  College,  '  Alban  Hall  ex  antiquo  vocat.  Nonne  Hall,'  with  a 
garden  joining  to  the  fouth  fide  of  it,  having  Merton  College  on  the  weft 
part,  and  a  garden  belonging  to  Balliol  College  on  the  eaft,  for  6y  years, 
by  paying  13s.  4d.  yearly.  By  which  it  appears,  that  the  faid  Halls  were  fe- 
veral  in  the  reign  of  Edw.  IV,  and  united  in  the  reign  of  Hen.  VII,  as  be- 
ing then  made  and  framed  in  one  entire  building. 

So  that  the  laid  College  having  long  leafes  let  to  them,  the  Halls  conti- 
nued for  their  ufe,  till  Littlemore  Nunnery  was  diflblved  by  the  power  of 
Cardinal  Wolfey  (as  before  in  Chrift  Church)  and  then  they  coming  into  his 
hands,  the  revenues  alfo  continued  to  him  till  his  fall.  After  which  K.  Hen. 
VIII  being  feifed  of,  granted,  them,  by  the  name  of  Alban  Hall,  about  the 
latter  end  of  his  reign  to  Dr.  George  Owen,  his  phyfician,  fometime  Fellow 
of  Merton  College,  who  foon  after  (9)  conveying  it  to  Sir  John  Willyams 
(afterward  Lord  Willyams  of  Thame)  and  Sir  John  Grefham,  Knights  ;  was 
by  them,  with  licenfe  (10)  obtained  from  K.  Edw.  VI,  Dec.  3,  reg.  2,  [1548] 
conveyed  (11)  to  John  Pollard  and  Rob.  PerrottEfquires;  and  by  them  the 
year  following,  June  16,  to  the  Warden,  (12)  and  fellows  of  Merton  Col- 
lege, who  from  that  time  are  the  real  and  fole  Lords  thereof. 

As  for  the  Principals  of  this  Hall,  I  find  none  that  occur  (though  dili- 
gently have  fought  after  them)  till  1437  ;  a  little  before  which  time  the  Uni- 
verfity Regifter  of  Admiflions  begin.  Neither  do  I  find  any  of  Nunn  Hall 
till  1445.  A  catalogue  of  both  which,  whether  perfed  or  imperfcdt,  iol-

BUILDINGS. 

THE  fite  of  this  Hall  is  no  more  at  prefent  (neither  for  many  years  be- 
fore) than  the  compafs  of  ground  which  the  Buildings  take  up,  containing 
the  room  of  two  Halls,  as  is  before  faid,  namely,  Nunn  Hall,  which  was 
next  to  Merton  College,  and  St.  Albans'  next  to  Nunn  Hall  on  the  eaft 
part.  As  for  the  ground  on  the  back,  or  fouth,  fide  of  them,  it  belongs  to 
Merton  College,  and  is  employed  as  a  garden  and  walk  for  the  Warden 
thereof.  The  walks  alfo  which  are  now  ufed  by  this  Hall,  lying  on  the  eaft 
part  thereof,  belongs  alio  to  Merton,  by  virtue  of  a  leafe  from  Balliol,  Col- 
lege j  whereon  anciently  ftood  Hert  Hall,  as  it  fhallbe  elfewhere  fhewed. 

As  for  the  Buildings,  I  can  fay  no  more  of  them,  than  that  they  were  ereded 
by  Merton  College,  at  what  time  they  were  united,  viz.  about  the  begin- 
ning of  Hen.  VII,  Dr.  Fitzjames  being  then  Warden,  whofe  Arms  as  a  to- 
ken thereof  (viz.  Arg.  a  Dolphin  embowed  Azure,  quartering  Draycot)  were -^'^^i^-^^' 
lately  (perhaps  now)  Handing  in  an  upper  window  next  to  the  Walks.  Xo  •^"'^* 
which  building  alfo  did  one  Dr.  James  Fitzjames  (Nephew  or  Kinfman 
to  the  faid  Warden"  bred  as  a  Commoner  in  this  Hall  in  the  latter  end  of 
Hen.  VII,  and  beginning  of  Hen.  VIII,  contribute  feveral  fums  of  m.oney, 
and  obtained  more  from  others ;  who,  as  I  conceive,  did  let  up  the  faid  Arms 
at  what  time  he  podefied  that  Chamber,  wherein  they  were  not  long  fince  to 
be  feen.  The  laid  Buildings,  eredled  then  quadrangular,  had  its  front  next 
the  ftreet  pulled  down,  an.  1599,  and  in  its  place  had  this  now  ftanding  (26) 
built  of  free  ftone  the  year  following,  with  the  legacy  of  200I.  left  for  that 
purpofe  by  Benedict  Barn  ham,  fometime  Citizen  and  Alderman  of  Lon- 
don, and  fometime  a  Commoner  of  this  Houfe  :  whofe  arms,  as  a  teftimony  of 
the  benefaftion,  are  engraven  in  ftone  over  the  common  Gate  thereof,  and

II.      EDMUND      HALL. 

THE  next  Hall  according  to  antiquity  to  be  mentioned,  is  Edmund 
Hall,  oppofite  to  Queen's  College,  in  the  paridi  of  St.  Peter's  in  the 
Eaft.  The  reafon  of  whofe  name  all  writers  have  hitherto  attributed  to  St. 
Edmund,  who  was  Archbifhop  of  Canterbury  in  the  reign  of  Hen.  Ill  •,  as 
if  he,  while  a  Student  in  Oxford,  had  made  it  from  a  MelTuage  to  be  a 
place  of  learning,  or  that  he  had  read  to  his  Scholars  therein ;  but  all,  who- 
Ibever  they  have  been,  that  have  fpokcn  concerning  that  matter  have  erred  ; 
for  from  record  it  appears,  that  it  was  anciently  no  more  than  an  ordinary 
Tenement,  and  that  it  was  pofleft  by  one  Edmund,  an  inhabitant  or  Burgher 
of  Oxford  in  the  beginning  of  Hen.  Ill ;  and  after  his  death  by  his  fen 
Ralph,  who,  in  an  (i)  evidence  (whereby  John  Curteis  gave  to  Andrew 
Halegod  a  mark,  yearly  rent,  ifluing  from  Brondefhall  in  St.  Peter's  near 
to  this  place)  is  written  *  Radulphus  filius  Edmundi,'  Adam  Feteplace  being 
then  Mayor,  and  Jeffry  de  Hencfey  and  Thom.  le  Efpycer  Provofls,  of  Ox- 
ford ;  which  was  about  44  Hen.  III.  The  faid  Edmund  (fon  of  whom  I 
know  not)  had  another  Tenement  alfo  near  to  this,  joining,  as  I  conceive,  to 
the  Churchyard  of  St.  Peter,  who  giving  it  to  his  four  fons,  was  written  and 
called  Aula  quatuor  filiorum  Edmundi,  as  anon  it  fhall  be  fhewed. 

As  for  this  MefTuage-oi'Tiall  of  Edmund,  of  which  we  are  to  make  fur- 
ther mention,  it  doth  partly  appear,  that  it  came  from  the  faid  Ralph,  the 
fon  of  Edmund,  to  one  Sir  Brian  de  Bermingham,  Knt.  who  keeping  his 
right  therein  not  long,  (2)  fold  it  to  one  Thom.  de  Malmfbury,  Chaplain, 
for  twelve  marks  fterling,  by  paying  to  the  faid  Sir  Brian  and  his  heirs  for 
it  2s.  per  an.  This  bargain  was  m.ade  when  Nich.  de  Kyngefton  was  Mayor, 
Will.  deHwand  Joh.  Pady  Provofls  of  Oxford,  about  the  48th  of  Hen.  Ill; 
being  then  alfo  (3)  confirmed  to  the  faid  Thomas  by  Sir  Roger  de  Berming- 
ham, Clerk,  Redor  of  the  Church  of  Ebenefeud,  brother  to  the  faid 
Sir  Brian. 

The  faid  Mefiuage  therefore  being  in  the  hands  of  Thom.  de  Malmfbury, 
who  was  a  Scholar,  it  may  be  doubtful  whether  he  made  it  an  houfe  of  learn- 
ing or  no,  for  before  his  time  I  find  not  the  leafl  mention  that  maketh  it  fo. 
Yet  howfoever  it  was,  he  by  the  name  of  Thom.  de  Malmfbury,  Chaplain, 
and  perpetual  Vicar  of  Cowley,  near  Oxford,  gave  it  (4)  by  the  title  of  a  Mef- 
fuage  with  buildings  to  the  Canons  of  Ofney,  an.  1269  (54  Hen.  Ill)  lying 
then  in  length  between  the  Churchyard  of  St.  Peter's,  and  the  land  which

leadeth  from  the  great  ftreet  (that  is  the  High  ftreet)  of  Oxford  to  the 
Church  of  St.  Peter  in  the  Eaft,  and  the  houfc  which  the  Prior  and  C.nons 
of  Wroxton  in  Oxfordfhire  held.  For  which  gift  the  Canons  of  Giney  were 
to  give  him  fo  long  as  he  lived  one  mark  by  the  year,  and  to  Elizabeth  ihe 
daughter  of  Adam  de  Oclee,  a  Nun  of  J^ittlemore,  8s.  yearly. 

The  Canons  of  Ofney  having  it  then  in  their  hands,  made  feveral  repara- 
tions on  it :  and  becaufe  they  were  to  pay  an  annual  rent  for  it  for  certain 
years,  made  the  bed  advantage  of  it  by  demifing  it  to  Clerks,  and  making 
it,  with  the  Univerfity's  confenr,  an  Houfe  of  learning,  as  they  did  bf:'fore, 
and  after  of  moft,  if  not  all,  their  Tenements  in  Oxford.  For  by  that  way 
they  made  a  very  great  improvement  of  their  eftate  they  had  in  Oxford,  es- 
pecially in  thofe  times,  when  the  Univerfity  had  many  thoufands  of  Stu- 
dents within  her  limits. 

As  for  the  particular  time  when  this  place  was  by  them  made  an  Houfe 
of  learning,  I  cannot  (though  diligently  I  have  fought  after  it)  find  out,  yet 
by  tracing  the  (5)  Rentrolis  of  Ofney,  which  were  made  for  their  tenements 
in  Oxford,  I  find  no  mention  of  it  till  the  beginning  of  Edw.  II  ;  for  in  one 
written  in  the  [year]  1275  (4  Edw,  I.)  not  a  word  occurs,  neither  in  two  or 
three  that  immediately  follow.  As  for  the  reft  that  Ihould  come  after  to  the 
reign  of  Edw.  II,  are  wanting  and  gone.  In  a  RentroU  made  1 1  Edw.  II, 
Dom.  1 3 17,  1  find  it  thus  mentioned  among  the  Halls  and  Tenements  in 
St.  Peter's  parilh  in  the  Eaft  :

In  other  Rentrolis,  even  till  about  the  middle  of  Edw.  Ill,  it  is  written.

tenements  ftanding  In  or  near  the  Churchyard  of  St.  Peter's,  as  this  his  tene- 
ment, called  after  his  name,  doth.  There  was  alfo  one  (6)  Edmundus  Ca- 
pellarius,  commonly  called  Edmund  le  Chapelier,  who  lived  in  St.  Peter's 
parifti  alfo  about  the  begin-ning  of  Hen.  Ill,  and  equal  in  time  with  the 
aforefaid  Edmund,  but  whether  the  fame  1  know  not.  I  find  (7)  alfo  one 
Mr.  Walter  de  S.  Eadmundo,  Official  to  the  Archdeacon  of  Oxon,  25  Hen. 
Ill ;  who  had  a  tenement  in  S.  John  Baptifl's  parifh,  and  held  (8)  another  in 
that  of  St.  Fridefwyde,  but  he  I  fuppofe  had  no  relation  to  the  former. 

But  to  proceed  ;  this  Hall  remained  in  Ofney  right,  (fometimes  flourifliing 
and  at  other  times  in  decay)  till  the  DifTolution,  and  then  by  Statute  of  Mo- 
nafteries,  it  came  as  parcel  of  their  pofTeffions  to  K.  Hen.  VIII ;  who  keep- 
ing it  fome  years,  did  by  his  let.  (9)  pat.  dated  22  Nov.  an.  reg.  38,  Domi- 
ni, 1546,  grant  it  (10)  to  one  John  Bellow  and  Robert  Bygott.  But 
they  keeping  it  not  long,  was  by  them  conveyed  (11)  to  William  Burnell, 
Gent.  7  Edw.  VI,  who  (12)  felling  it  for  40  marks  the  fame  year  to  Will. 
Denyfc,  Clerk,  came  (13)  from  him  to  Qiieen's  Coll.  (of  which  he  was  then 
Provoft)  28  July  1557.  The  faid  Hall  therefore  refling  in  their  pofTeffion,  the 
Members  thereof  did  foon  after  rededicate  it  (having  for  fome  years  laid 
void)  to  learning,  but  with  this  condition,  that  they,  with  the  Provoft,  might 
eled,  nominate  and  prefent  to  the  Chancellor  or  his  CommifTary  fome  fit 
Principal,  as  it  appears  by  3(14)  compofition  dat.  i  Mar.  i  Elizab.  made  in 
that  behalf,  and  enacted  in  the  Congregation  by  the  Chancellor,  Mafters  and 
Scholars  of  the  Univerfity.  According  to  which  it  hath  been  ever  fince  put 
in  ufe,  that  Queen's  College  hath  ele(^ed  and  nominated  from  time  to  time 
the  Principal  of  tiiis  Hall,  and  not,  as  formerly,  eleded  by  the  Scholars 
thereof. 

Upon  the  refignation  of  Thomas  Bowsfeild,  Principal,  there  was  3(15) 
difpute  about  the  title,  whether  it  was  in  the  Chancellor's  power,  or  in  the 
College,  or  the  Commoners  of  the  Hall,  to  eledl  a  Principal ;  and  one  Juf- 
tice  (or  Juftitiarius)  Walmeiley,  ( 1  6)  who  was  in  hopes,  or  had  a  promife

PRINCIPALS. 

Mr.  J.  DE  CoRNUBiA,  as  before,  occurs  Principal  an.  1317.  How  many 
years  before  that  time  he  was  admitted  I  know  not ;  fure  I  am,  that 
one  William  Boys  held  this  Hall,  and  paid  the  rent  to  Ofney  be- 
fore the  time  of  the  faid  Cornubia,  but  him  I  take  to  be  a  Secular  or 
Layic,  becaufe  the  title  of  Mailer  is  not  put  before  his  name. 

Mr.  Robert  Luc.  de  Cornubia,  13  Ed.  II,  Dom.  13 19.  He  refigned  his

ment of  the  rent  of  this  Hall  on  the  thurfday  next  after  the  feaft  of  St. 
John  Baptift,  i8  Edw.  II,  Dom.  1325,  and  was  forthwith  admitted. 

Throf,  Scholar,  held  this  Hall,  and  paid  the  rent  to  Ofney,  an.  135 1. 

William  Hamsterley  138 i.  He  feems  to  have  been  a  laical  perfon, 
becaufe  the  title  of  Mailer  is  not  put  before  his  name. 

Edward  Upton  1385.     No  title  of  Mailer  is  put  before  his  name. 

Mr.  William  Taylour  Principal  1390,  or  thereabouts,  (ometimes  written 
by  the  title  of  Mailer,  fometimes  not,  and  therefore  his  predeceiTors  Up- 
ton and  Hamderley  were  probably,  for  that  reafon,  Acadcmians. 

Henricus  Presbyter  occurs  1395,  and  alfo  1397  and  98.  One  Hen.  de 
Circeflre  paid  the  rent  of  this  Hall  to  Ofney  much  about  the  fame  time, 
whether  a  Layic  or  the  fame  with  Henry  the  prieil  is  doubtful.

BUILDINGS. 

• 

THE  fite  of  this  Hall  at  firfl:  took  up  no  more  ground  than  that  whereon 
part  of  the  Refedory  and  Chambers  at  the  north  end  thereof  now  Hand. 
Which  continuing  no  more  or  lefs,  as  I  conceive,  till  29  Hen.  VI,  Dom. 
145 1,  was  then,  or  foon  after,  enlarged  :  for  at  that  time  the  Abbefs  and 
Convent  of  Godftow  (29)  granting  to  Ofney  an  houfe  flated,  on  the  fouth 
fide  of  the  ground  whereon  the  faid  Refedlory  (lands,  containing  15  foot  in 
length,  and  17  in  breadth,  by  yielding  2S.  6d.  yearly  for  it,  the  faid  houle 
was  forthwith  added  to  Edmund  Hall.  About  the  fame  time  alfo  another 
tenement  was  annexed,  which  looked  into  St.  Peter's  Churchyard,  fituated 
as  'tis  faid  between  the  land  of  Thomas,  fometime  Vicar  of  Cowley,  called 
Edm.und  Hall,  on  the  weft  fide,  and  the  land  of  St.  John's  Hofpital  on  the 
eaft,  on  which  afterward  were  buildings  ereded  by  Olhey  Abbey. 

As  for  the  Buildings,  I  can  fay  no  more  of  them  than  that  the  front  oppo- 
to  Qi-ieen's  College,  containing  a  Refedory  and  certain  Chambers  on  the 
fouth  fide  thereof,  was  built,  within  few  years  after  the  Hall  was  enlarged 
with  Godftow  land,  by  the  Abbat  and  Convent  of  Osney.  Which  Cham- 
bers being  very  ruinous,  were  pulled  down  by  Dr.  Airav,  Principal,  and 
thofe  Edifices,  now  ftanding  in  their  place  (which  are  on  the  fouth  fide  of, 
and  over,  the  common  entrance  into  the  Hall)  were  by  him,  at  his  own 
charges  built,  and  finiftied  about  1635.  The  Refe(5lory  alfo,  which  looked 
very  old  and  ruinous,  was  pulled  down,  an.  1 6§^^  and  this  now  ftanding  in  its 
place  (the  firft  ftone  of  which  was  laid  30  May  1659)  with  Chambers  over  ir, 
on  the  north  fide  of  the  common  entrance  or  gate,  were  finiftied  the  year  fol- 
lowing by  the  contribution  of  feveral  perfons.  (30)

accounts  fometime  belonging  to  Ofney,  containing  expences  in  building  and 
reparations,  ere6led  in  the  reign  of  Edw.  IV. 

The  high  buildings  (of  four  (lories)  joining  to  the  former  on  the  eaft  part 
alfo,  were  erecled  by  Principal  Bowsfield  about  the  year  1596. 

[The  greateft  part  of  this  north  fide  of  the  Court  was  repaired  in  the  be- 
ginning of  this  century  by  the  benefaflion  of  Robert  Thomlinson,  who 
proceeded  M.  A.  from  this  Hall  in  1692,  and  was  afterwards  Preb.  of  St. 
PauTs,  London,  and  Redtor  of  Wickham,  Durham  :  and  the  remaining  part 
by  Thomas  Shaw,  D.  D.  Principal.] 

As  for  the  other  buildings  of  free  ftone,  which  (land  at  the  eafl:  end  of  the 
court,  were  ereded  by  an  inhabitant  of  Oxford  for  to  be  let  out  to  Scholars, 
when  thofe  chambers  belonging  to  the  Hall  were  full,  but  bought  for  the 
ufe  of  the  Principal  and  his  fucceflbrs  for  ever,  an.  1672;  towards  which 
purchafe  Queen's  College  gave  251.(31)  The  other  high  buildings  on  the 
fouth  fide  of  the  Court,  containing  five  ftories,  were  ereded  an.  1 660-61  by 
one  Chriftopher  Airay,  nephew  to  Principal  Airay,  for  the  accommodation 
alfo  of  Chambers  when  thofe  belonging  to  the  Hall  [were]  full.  (32)  To 
conclude,  I  muft  take  notice  here  by  the  way,  that  Sir  John  Archer,  Knt. 
one  of  the  Juftices  of  the  King's  Bench,  gave  inftead  of  Plate  for  his  fon 
John  5I.  Which  with  15I.  more  that  he  gave,  was  employed  for  the  digging 
a  Cellar  under  the  Refedory,  1672.

III.     ST.     MARY'S     HALL. 

TH  E  next  Hall  to  be  mentioned  is  that  of  St.  Mary  the  Virgin  in 
Schydyard  ftreet,  which  being  anciently  no  other  than  a  tenement  was 
inhabited  by  burgefles  of  Oxford  fuccefTively  ;  among  whom  Henry  Kelpe 
being  one,  who  had  tenements  alfo  in  St.  Michael's  parifh  at  Northgate  and 
elfewhere,  (i)  gave  it  by  the  name  of  a  mefRiage,  about  the  24  Hen.  Ill,  to 

Mr.  Peter Redtor  of  St.  Mary's  Church  in  Oxford,  for  the  ufe  of 

him  and  his  fucceflbrs  in  the  faid  Church.  In  which  tenement  Agnes  the 
wife  of  John  Halegod  having  intereft,  releafed  (2)  or  quitted  it  to  the  faid 
Mr.  Peter  about  that  time.  Afterwards  it  was  ufed  by  his  fuccefTors  in  the 
faid  Church  as  an  habitation  or  Parfonage  houfe,  continuing  for  that  ufe  till 
St.  Mary's  Church  with  its  appurtenances  were  (^)  given  by  K.  Edw.  II  to 
the  College  or  Hall  of  St.  Mary  the  Virgin  19  of  his  reign,  Dom.  1325  :  and 
then  this  place  being  accounted  a  glebe  belonging  to  the  faid  Church,  came 
with  five  fhops  adjoining  on  the  north  fide  (after  there  had  been  a  long  fuit 
of  law  about  them)  to  the  Scholars  of  the  faid  College  or  Hall.  Which  be- 
ing at  length  in  their  pofTeflion,  they  converted  the  Parfonage  houfe  into  a 
place  of  learning  (but  the  year  when  I  find  not)  and  demifed  the  (hops  to 
Laicks,  who  in  procefs  of  time  made  them  tenements,  being  the  fame  now 
that  are  oppofite  to  St.  Mary's  Church.  And  becaufe  the  faid  houie  did  be- 
long to  that  Church,  and  afterwards  to  the  College  of  St.  Mary  the  Virgin 
(commonly  called  Oriel  or  the  King's  Hall)  it  was  therefore  called  St.  Ma- 
ry's Hall. 

[BENEFACTOR. 

Thomas  Dyke,  Do(flor  in  Phyfic,  granted  by  deed,  in  1677,  a  moiety  ot 
the  great  tithes  of  the  Parfonages  of  King's  Brompton,  and  Winsford,  in  the 
county  of  Somerfet,  towards  the  fupport  of  four  Scholars  in  this  Hall,  na-

Q^q  q  q  BUILDINGS, 


674  ST.    MARY*S      HALL. 


BUILDINGS. 

THE  fite  of  this  Hall  was  no  more  at  firfl:  than  the  north  half  of  the 
fore-front  that  now  is,  with  the  Buildings  behind  it:  the  infquare  of  which 
contained  53  feet  or  thereabouts  from  north  to  fouth,  and  about  25  feet  fro  in 
eaft  to  weft  ;  which  ih  continued  till  Bedell  Hall  was  united  to  it,  about  the 
reign  (as  I  guefs)  of  Edw.  IV. 

The  Fabric  of  this  Hall  was  originally  built  by  the  Houfe  or  College  of 
St.  Mary  the  Virgin,  at  what  time  it  was  confecrated  to  learning  (of  which 
building  nothing  is  remaining  but  the  old  Refeflory  on  the  north  fide  of  the 
Court,  and  certain  Chambers  on  the  eaft  fide,  fome  of  which  were  pulled 
down  an.  1664)  but  the  fore  front  of  it  next  to  Schydiard  ftreet  being  pulled 
down  in  1447  (containing  in  length  from  north  to  fouth  more  than  40  paces) 
this  that  now  ftands  in  its  place  was  foon  after  built  by  Oriel  College  \ 
John  Carpenter,  then  Bifhop  of  Worcefter,  contributing  towards  the 
building.  As  for  the  other  part  of  the  fore-front,  which  is  the  fouth  half 
of  the  whole,  wa?,  with  the  buildings  on  the  eaft  fide  thereof,  reaching  to 
the  new  Refedory,  built  and  erefted  upon  the  ground  where  Bedell  Hall 
flood  (after  it  had  been  united  to  St.  Mary's  Hall)  partly  at  the  charges  of 
Oriel  College,  and  partly  by  Benefadlors. 

The  Refectory  that  is  now  ufed,  with  a  Cellar  under,  and  a  Chapel 
over,  it-,  as  alfo,  a  Buttery,  and  Chambers  over  it,  at  the  weft  end  of  them  •, 
were  built  in  the  time  of  Dr.  Saunders,  Principal,  an.  1639  and  40,  partly 
at  his  own,  but  chiefly  at  the  expenfes  of  Benefactors,  that  had  been  formerly 
of  this  Hall. 

As  for  the  Principal's  Lodgings,  which  join  to  the  north  fide  of  the  faid 
Refe6lory  and  Chapel,  they  were  built,  as  I  conceive,  by  Principal  Braddyl. 

Over  the  Chimney  in  the  Refedtory  is  a  Table  hanging,  having  depicted 
thereon  the  arms  of  the  Lord  Hatton  ;  viz. 

IiattoB»  Azure,  a  Chevron  between  three  Garbes  Or,  quartering  13  other  coats. 

[The  Principal's  Lodgings,  abovementioned,  were  converted  into  private 
Rooms  by  Dr.  John  Hudson,  Principal,  who  built  the  prefent  Lodgings 
upon  the  fite  of  the  old  Refedlory. 

Dr.  Wixliam  King,  Principal,  afllfted  by  the  generous  contributions  of 
feveral  Noblemen  and  Gentlemen,  who  were  educated  under  his  care,  rebuilt 
the  eaft  fide  of  the  Quadrangle  in  its  prefent  form,  and  added  a  new  Room 
to  the  Principal's  Lodgings. 

Part  of  the  well  fide  of  the  Quadrangle,  which  was  very  irregular,  and  in 
a  ruinous  ftate,  was  taken  down,  and  rebuilt  by  Dr.  Thomas  Nowell, 
Principal,  who,  by  the  liberal  contributions  of  the  Members,  has  likewife 
been  enabled  to  make  confiderable  alterations  and  improvements  in  the 
whole  ftrudture  of  the  Hall. 

Chapel.

Chapel.  John  Oswald,  who  was  a  Member  of  this  Hall,  where  he 
proceeded  to  the  degree  of  B.  C.  L.  in  1743,  and  was  afterward  Bp  of  Raphoe 
in  Ireland,  with  a  pious  liberality  gave  one  hundred  pounds,  to  be  laid  out 
in  repairing  and  ornamenting  the  Chapel,  abovementioned,  in  the  year  1777. 

On  the  north  fide  of  this  Chapel  is  the  following  Infcription,  on  a  white

IV.    NEW    INN,    ALIAS    T  R  I  L  L  E  CK'S    Tn  N. 

THIS  Houfe,  fitLiated  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  North  Baylie,  or  the  place 
fometime  called  The  feven  deadly  fins,  leading  from  Woodftr^eet  to 
the  Church  of  St.  Peter  in  the  Baylie,  was  anciently  inhabited  by  the  Pen- 
nards.  Burghers  of  Oxford,  of  which  name  and  family  Fridefwyde,  the 
daughter  and  heirefs  of  William  Pennard,  the  laft  of  her  line,  being  one, 
gave  (i)  and  granted  it  (being  then  divided  into  fevcral  tenements)  to  John 
Trilleck,  Bifhop  of  Hereford,  and  Thomas  Trilleck  his  brother,  lying  be- 
tween a  tenement  of  Godftow  Nunnery  on  the  one  part,  and  the  tenement 
of  John  Bybury  on  the  other,  Apr.  11,  23  Edw,  III,  Dom.  1349. 

John  Trilleck  dying  inteftate,  an.  1360,  his  intereft  in  the  faid  tenements 
came  to  Thomas  his  brother-,  who,  fix  years  after,  (he  being  then  Bifhop  of 
Rochefter)  conveyed  (2)  them  to  Mr.  Hugh  Penbrigge,  Mr.  Roger  Oterey, 
and  Walter  Brown,  Parfon  of  the  Church  of  St.  Magnus  in  London  •,  and  they 
(Hugh  Penbrigge  excepted)  to  William  de  Wykeham,  (3)  Bifliop  of  Win- 
chefter,  and  others  :  In  whofe  deed  of  conveyance  dat.  7  Nov.  43  Edw.  Ill, 
Dom.  1369,  they  are  written  Trilleck*s  Inns.  The  faid  Bifhop  then  being 
pofl^efTed  of  them,  did,  with  the  King's  licenfe,  (4)  give  the  faid  Inns  (being 
in  number  two)  with  three  gardens  adjoining  on  the  weft  fide,  as  alfo  a 
meflliage  called  Rofe  Hall,  and  a  garden  adjoining,  to  the  Warden  and 
Scholars  of  New  College,  8  June  15  Rich.  II,  Dom.  1391. 

As  for  the  time  when  the  faid  Inns  were  demifed  to  Scholars,  and  dedi- 
cated to'the  ufe  of  learning,  it  feems  to  have  been  while  the  Trillecks  owned 
them,  becaufe  in  the  conveyance  of  Otery  and  Browne,  Clerks,  to  William 
Wykeham,  they  are  ftiled  Hofpitia,  i.  e.  Inns,  and  not  before,  in  the  former 
conveyances.  At  firft  they  were  chiefly  (5)  inhabited  by  white  Monks,  called 
Bernardihes,  who  continued  here  till  the  College  of  St.  Bernard  in  Magda- 
len parifh  was  built;  to  which,  afterwards,  they  for  the  moft  part  retiring,  it 
was  (6)  ordered  by  the  Afi^embly  of  Regents  and  non  Regents,  an.  1455,  that 
this  place  might  be  free  notwithftanding  for  religious  or  any  honeft  perfons 
to  inhabit  in.  According  to  which  leave  it  was  replenifhed  with  Civilians  and 
Canonifts,  and  continuing  fo  till  the  reign  of  Edw.  VI  (during  which  time 
were  conftantly  many  admirable  ledtures  made  by  the  men  of  thofe  faculties 
in  order  to  their  degrees)  produced  many  that  were  eminent,  of  whom  not  a 
few  were  of  the  Welch  nation.

In  the  time  of  Q^  Mary,  and  efpecially  in  that  of  Q^ Elizabeth,  this  place 
lay  much  unfrequented,  and  not  above  fix  Students  at  a  time,  if  \o  many, 
were  refident.  About  the  year  1571,  when  Felix  Lewis  was  Principal,  here 
were  fix  Students,  a  Servitor,  poor  Scholar,  and  three  Servants,  that  had 
names  in  the  Buttery  book  •,  but  whether  all  refident  at  one  time  I  cannot 
tell.  In  the  reign  alfo  of  K.  James,  except  towards  his  latter  end,  were  few 
alfo,  and  m  Principal  Lodington's  time,  were  fcarce  more  than  ten  that  had 
names  in  the  book.  But  as  foon  as  Principal  Rogers  was  fettled,  who  was 
looked  upon  as  a  noted  Puritan,  it  did  very  much  fiourifli,  and  yielded  forty 
Students  yearly  for  fome  years  of  his  Principality,  to  be  remitted  into  the 
Album  or  Matriculation  book  of  the  Univerfity.  Magdalen  Hall  having 
fuch  another  Governor,  and  enjoying  the  like  number,  or  rather  more,  the 
faid  two  places  were  therefore  commonly  ftiled  the  two  nefts  of  Precifians 
and  Puritans.  In  the  time  of  the  war,  from  1642  to  1646,  this  place  be- 
ing the  Mint  Office  for  K.  Charles  I,  there  was  no  Scholar,  and  though  every 
College  and  Hall  fent  their  plate  to  this  place  to  have  it  melted  down  for  his 
Majefty's  ufe,  yet  fome  there  were  that  preferved  inolf,  if  not  all,  of  it.  (7) 
After  the  garrifon  was  furrendered,  and  Rogers  returned,  then  was  it  full 
again  of  fuch  that  were  called  Seekers,  i.  e.  fuch  that  laid  in  wait  till  the 
blefTed  Vifitation  fhould  begin  to  turn  out  Loyalifts,  and  put  thefe  Seekers 
in  their  places.  After  the  Vifitation  was  done,  this  Hall  was  fekiom  without 
20  or  30  Students ;  and  after  the  King's  Reftoration,  when  Mr.  Stone  became 
Principal,  there  were  30  or  40,  and  had  in  fome  Ads  fix  Proceeders  in  Arts, 
and  in  fome  Lents  twelve  or  more  Determiners.

BUILDINGS. 

THE  fite  of  this  place  was  never  more  than  it  now  containeth,  having  had 
thereon  the  faid  Inns,  called  Trilleck's  Inns,  fometimes  flanding,  as  alfo  Rofc 
Hall,  fituated  on  the  north  fide  of  them,  and  on  or  near  the  place  where  the 
common  entrance  into  this  Hall  is.  The  fabrick  of  which  Inns,  being  very- 
ruinous,  notwithftanding  confiderable  fums  of  money  were  (24)  laid  out  upon 
their  reparations  by  New  College,  8  Hen.  IV,  were  pulled  down  about  the 
latter  end  of  K,  Hen.  VI,  or  beginning  (25)  of  Edw.  IV,  and  then  they  were 
new  built  and  made  one  entire  fabric  by  the  faid  College.  Which  being 
fo  done,  hath  been  the  reafon  that  ever  lince  it  hath  been  written  and  called 
the  New  Inn,  alias  Trilleck^s  Inn,  as  it  is  alfo  noted  by  John  Roufe,  the  An- 
tiquary of  Warwick,  a  Student  then  or  before  in  the  Univerfity,  in  one  of 
his  (26)  works  thus;  "  Tryllock  Ynne  quod  nunc  dicitur  Novum  Hofpi-

Among  the  Buildings  of  this  Inn,  which  I  find  often  repaired  by  New 
College,  and  feveral  additions  made  by  them  to  the  original  buildings,  I  mull 
take  notice^of  the  Chapel ;  for  fuch  a  fabric  was  here  once  (27)  ftanding^ 
particularly,  as  1  conceive,  on  the  weft  fi.de  of  the  Court,  It  feems  to  have 
been  firft  made  by  the  Bernardines,  purpofely  to  celebrate  fervice,  and  com- 
memorate the  Founder  of,  and  Benefadors  to,  their  Order.  When  it  went 
to  decay  I  know  not :  the  laft  mention  that  I  find  of  it,  was  about  the  time 
that  the  Bernardines  departed  hence.  They  had  alfo  a  large  Chamber  (28) 
or  Dormitory  here,  where  they  all  for  the  moft  part  flept  together  -,  of  which 
place  finding  nothing  memorable,  than  that  it  was  feveral  times  repaired  by 
New  College,  I  ftiall  proceed  to  the  next  Houfe  of  learning.

V.     ST.     MARY     MAGDALEN'S     HALL. 

THE  next  Houfe  that  muft  follow  is  St.  Mary  Magdalen's  Hall  •, 
which,  by  all  writers  hitherto,  hath  been  taken  as  the  original  and 
rife  of  Magdalen  College  adjoining  -,  as  if  the  firft  Prefident  and  Fellows 
had  for  certain  years  lived  there,  till  they  were  translated  to  St.  John's  Hof- 
pital,  then  made  a  College;  but  from  that  which  I  have  already  delivered 
concerning  that  College,  and  what  follows  here,  will  appear,  that  it  was  only 
at  firfl:  built  for  a  School. 

William  Waynflete,  Bifhop  of  Winchefter,  having  finiflied  and  fet- 
tled his  College  of  St.  Mary  Magdalen,  proceeded  to  the  foundation  of  this 
place;  begun  (i)  in  the  month  of  Auguft  1480.  For  he  being  minded  to 
extend  his  Charity  farther,  to  the  end  that  all  people,  efpecially  the  youth  of 
his  College,  might  be  inftruded  freely,  and  without  reward,  built  a  Gram- 
mar School  near  it,  with  certain  Chambers  over  and  a  Kitchen  adjoining, 
neceflary  for  the  Officers  of  the  faid  School.  Which  being  done,  he  tranf- 
lated  the  Grammar  School,  together  with  its  Mafter  and  Ufher  from  a  lower 
room,  or  hall,  on  the  fouth  fide  of  the  College  Chapel,  formerly  belonging  to 
the  Hofpital  of  St.  John  (in  which  room,  from  the  paflbver  1480  a  Mailer 
and  Ufher  had  taught  gratis  at  the  charge  of  the  Founder)  to  this  that  he 
had  then  almoft  finifhed ;  allowing  the  faid  Mafter  and  Ufher  Lodgings  over 
it;  and  the  Mafter  alfo,  John  Anwykyll,  lol.  per  an.  fettled  (2)  by  the  Col- 
lege the  fame  year  that  the  Founder  died,  which  was  2  Hen.  Vli.  So  that 
the  faid  Chambers  being  filled  with  Scholars,  other  Lodgings  fome  years 
after  were  added  to  the  School,  on  the  weft:  fide  (being  the  fame  now  that 
are  over  the  common  gate)  and  became  known  by  the  name  firft  of  Gram- 
mar Hall,  then  Magdalen  Hall,  whereas  before  only  by  the  name  of  a 
School.  From  which  time  it  hath  flouriflied  for  the  moft  part  with  Scholars 
governed  from  the  firft  foundation,  till  Dr.  Huflee's  time,  by  Magdalen 
College  Fellows ;  a  catalogue  of  which  you  Ihall  have  anon. 


BENEFACTORS. 

Thomas  Whyte,  D.  D.  fometime  a  Student  in  this  Hall,  gave  an  Exhi-

BUILDINGS. 

THE  fite  of  this  Hall  having  been  no  more  at  firft,  than  that  place 
whereon  the  School  ftandeth,  with  the  Refectory  and  Chambers  over  it,  was 
enlarged  with  a  parcel  of  ground  by  the  Society  of  Magdalen  College, 
belonging  to  them  from  the  Hofpital.  On  which  ground,  joining  to  the  weft 
fide  of  this  School,  the  faid  Collt-ge  ereded  a  pile  of  building  (at  what  time, 
as  I  guefs,  the  row  of  freeftone  houfes  reaching  from  this  Hall  to  the  Grey- 
hound Inn  was  (5)  built  10  Hen.  VIII,  Dom.  1518)  which  continuing  with- 
out any  additions  till  the  time  of  Dr.  John  Wilkinson,  were  then  enlarged 
by  him ;  viz.  to  the  building  over  the  School  and  Refe<5tory  he  added  two 
ftories,  and  to  the  buildings  over  the  common  Gate,  erefted  151 8  as  before, 
he  added  alfo  two  ftories.  He  made  feveral  Chambers  over  the  Buttery  and 
entrance  to  the  Refedory,  an.  16.14J  built  the  crofs-buildings  at  the  north 
end  of  the  Court  about  the  fame  time,  and  ereded  from  the  ground  thofe 
that  are  called  the  New-buildings,  next  to  Magdalen  College  Grove,  an. 
1620 ;  which  edifices,  with  feveral  additions  and  reparations  that  he  made 
about  this  Hall,  coft  him,  as  I  have  been  informed.  3000!, 

His  next  fucceflbr  in  the  Principality  (viz.  Henry  Wilkinson)  built  the 
Library  on  the  weft  fide  of  the  Court,  and  for  the  furniftiing  of  it,  gave  not 
only  feveral  PreftDyterian  books,  and  Roman  coins,  but  procured  others  from 
Gentlemen  and  Scholars  that  had  been  of  this  Hall ;  which  being  done, 
'twas  opened  for  ufe  7  May  iS^y.  His  fucceflbr  Dr.  Hyde  enlarged  it  at 
the  north  end,  by  adding  three  repofitories  for  ftowage  of  books,  with  two 
xooms  under  it,  and  took  care  to  have  them  fupplied. 

To  this  Library  very  many  have  contributed  ;  among  which  hath  been 
John  Lisle,  one  of  the  Commiflioners  ot  the  great  feal  to  Cromwell,  fome- 
time  a  Gentleman  Commoner  of  this  Hall,  an.  1658.  John  Ridge  alfo, 
who  became  Minifter  of  Exton  in  Hamplliire  after  he  had  left  this  Houfe, 
gave  many  books  about  the  fame  time.  Nath.  Hardy,  D.  D.  Dean  of 
Rochefter,  bequeathed  alfo  above  ,200  books  an.  16701  with  many  others, 
■which  for  brevity  I  omit.
